Pros

- Most folks at YRC are honest, hard working, and try their best. - HQ office operations group seems to be well-tenured and knowledgeable. - "Employees Club" puts together lunches, happy hours, and a nice Christmas Party at the end of the year. Makes work a little more sociable than normal, which is nice. - The average workday is mostly low in stress with friendly and flexible middle management. - Nice cafeteria and a small gym on site, and a few nice outdoor areas for walking. - Pay doesn't seem high by any means, but average and adequate come to mind to describe it; which isn't that bad.

Cons

- The financially motivated job cutting and layoffs. It's one thing to have a policy of laying off continuously poor performers and replacing them. But, when a company unexpectedly lays off people with no replacement after a bad quarter or two in terms of revenue, it makes you feel like things are unstable, which seems to scare away young, talented individuals, who then just use their job as a short-term stepping stone. - People who have been with the company for many years tend to have a negative view of the current company (lots of "how it used to be good..." stories), which is also somewhat discouraging to new comers. - Company leadership seems to be reactive toward competitors rather than coming up with "our gameplan" and sticking with it.
