Pros

The drivers and the front line employees are amazing.

Cons

The management team truly does not care about their people. It is all about the EBIT(A) and they will do whatever it takes to achieve it. Buildings are in disrepair and in some cases unsafe to work in. Management drives results through bullying, sarcasm and fear. The upper management team including HR enjoy gossiping about other employees and are rude and sarcastic to people both during meetings and behind their backs in front of other employees. Corporate drives initiatives down without ever seeing the front line and how they are impacting them. As a result many areas operate outside of policy.

Pros

The company is huge, well funded and has a very simple product position, high quality, safety, good customer service, at a premium price. Problem is, the depth doesn't match the hype.

Cons

Constantly restructuring, introducing and then abandoning major overhauls to systems and processes. Lack of leadership at essentially every level as the company manages to the stock price and not the market. Profitable operations are tampered with until they break and districts with problems are nearly almost gutted routinely instead of being given assistance to grow and prosper. Nearly non existent support for employees.
