Pros

Within each branch is a very tight family atmosphere, and people work to help each other out. I received a lot of help from reps in other cities and even in my short time there, solid business relationships were formed. Everyone does work hard to get the job done and to make it as successful as possible for those around them

Cons

The people who ran the company, to be frank, don't know the first thing about business management. How they got as big as they did is beyond me. The training you receive is scarce. Spelling mistakes are rampant and the whole sales training is as gimmicky as it gets. The product is no better than anything else out there, but the price was always higher. They promised the moon but delivered on nothing. Inflated the wages and expected earnings during the interview process. Not very customer focused at all, it was all about the bottom line with little regard for maintaining good client relations. Just overall poor management. There were mass lay-offs two months after I was hired. . . and that included my position. An absolute waste having turned down other high profile jobs based on the opportunity that I was led to believe existed here.

Pros

My co workers were great people, and the atmosphere was like a family. I did enjoy what freedom I was allowed to have with in the office.

Cons

I was hired on as a receptionist and when they fired their old dispatcher/ office manager the dispatch postion was just put on my shoulders with out any additional compenation. I also had no training on my newfound postion and still I excelled with not even a "Good Job!", increasing productivity of the driver by 30%. I would not advise anyone to try to enter into the company and work your way as it would never happen. The lower paying people are treated like crap and always expected to do more then any one person could handle and even if by some miracle you have made their crazy deadlines never are you met with praise only criticisim.

Pros

Friendly work environment. Good team atmosphere

Cons

They pay all of the money to upper management. They told me I would make $45k just showing up to work. The actual number is $32k
