"Family Owned" in TransWest speak is just another way of saying "siphon the money into George Eidsness's pockets"

Pros

Not really many pros, except Commerce City was a decent location to avoid heavy commutes and the hours weren't too bad

Cons

Some of the worst benefits I've ever seen and overall the cheapest company for which I've had the displeasure of working. The TransLease location in Commerce City wouldn't even spring for coffee and a coffee maker... everywhere I turned was a ridiculous level of frugality and lack of appreciation for staff. The whole organization and its subsidiaries, of which there are many (Trans Lease, Summit Body, Transwest Buick GMC, etc). is really just a vehicle (no pun intended) to put money into the Eidsness family's pockets. The atmosphere can be very Kindergarten or prison-like. The "at-will employment" contracts that you sign to be a part of Trans West are very much in effect - you're always only one mistake away from getting the boot.

Thank you for your input. I can't say I've shared the atmosphere experience that you had during your engagement with Transwest, two years ago. The Eidsness family has been great to work with, each looking to create the best experience for their employees while creating and environment of development and growth for all. You thoughts are valuable, and we appreciate the input. Your considerations will be used as we refine our company culture moving forward.
