Pros

Dock Supervisors walk over ten miles a day on a 12-hour shift. You will never get fat.

Cons

Technology lags way behind the competition. Many OUTSTANDING co-workers busting their buns to make our company return to the top, trying mightily to make up for the no-loads that permeate our workforce.

Company continues to move in the wrong direction since merging Yellow and Roadway.

Pros

About the only reason right now to work for YRC would be to collect a check to pay your bills. It is that simple right now.

Cons

Upper management continues to make decisions which benefit themselves only. They continue to add new layers of sales management which make it tough for the field sales to do their job. More and more time is taken away from face to face sales. Spreadsheets, conference calls, webinar a, meetings etc. remain their focus. This brings no value to the customer. Long hours no raises hurdles to not pay bonus money, there is no reward for hard work here, ever. There is NO YRCFreight culture - Yellow people work their way and Roadway people work their way.....daily in fighting and no stopping.

Very hostile, degrading & insecure environment

Business Outlook

Pros

If you are desperate for a paycheck.

Cons

If you are a union employee, you are protected. If you are a frontline manager, God help you. As a manager you are threatened constantly. Goals conflict with each other therefore you are not able to accomplish all. Upper management goes to great lengths to make your environment uncomfortable despite the daily serious challenges. Great deal of politics.
