Pros

Pay was okay, free healthcare. There arn't anymore pros I just had to make the 20 word minimum.

Cons

Management at the Copley facility is backwoods. Management and older employees create an atmostshere where anything goes. Intimidation, blatant lies to get you fired. The union and union Stewarts agree with the company.

Pros

Nice people, good pay. Most of the drivers were respectful and great people.

Cons

No room for advancement if you are a female in the LTL industry. Worked there for 10 years and they would not give me a Supervisor title. Finally left to work for a better company that offered growth and opportunity.
