Pros

I do not see any.

Cons

Equipment is old, and falling apart. They are still losing money, they treat their supervisors and managers like children. Beat them down daily. The turnover for supervisors and managers is extremely high.

Pros

Corporate Headquarters. Good health benefits. Senior management means well, but when conversations begin with "I'm not a racist, but..." you know you are about to hear something chilling.

Cons

Diversity of thought, look, lifestyle, and culture is discouraged. New ideas and technology are threatening. Systems are not integrated and much work is done just to "keep on truckin" but never moving forward. No raises for years, and none in sight makes for a demotivated workforce. The morale is swirling in an abyss. No 401K match. Bullying and name calling is practiced at all levels.

The company with no future. If you have a desire to work there work it's because no one else will hire you.

Business Outlook

Pros

They don't monitor you while you're on the clock. They don't require you to work. You can abuse company time as much as you want in the form of overtime. And no one cares from Management to union members.

Cons

Company is near bankruptcy has been that way for years. Same as a pro no one cares including Management. The only employees they did not leave after they destroyed what good benefits they offered are the worst of the worst bordering on unemployable. And as far as pay goes under the new contract the new hire drivers are to be paid $17 an hour plus if you've never been in a union before you have to pay an 1100 dollar initiation fee plus another fifty six dollars a month. They've dropped their minimum qualification down to no experience just have a class a license.
