      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great culture with an emphasis on Servant Leadership. Company has a solid strategy and a very stable, growth oriented business model with lots of opportunity. Excellent compensation and benefits.

      Cons

      Decentralized culture with decisions made at the local level. Leaders are held accountable for results, this environment is not for everyone.

      Always striving to be a great place to work!

      Inter-modal manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The leadership and company promote servant leadership, employee training and retention. Safety is the number one value followed by integrity. The leaders walk the talk and the benefits are also better than average. The company has always treated me well and fairly.

      Cons

      It can feel like you're a small piece of the puzzle. The company continues to grow and so this will be difficult to overcome.
