Pros

I have pretty free reign during the night shift because I am the only supervisor. Great group of people to work with (non-managment). Ok health and benefits.

Cons

Get used to be screwed on a regular basis by other managment and supervisors. Company does not respect their union work force. Us vs. them mentality.

Pros

Since we received a new president (james welch), upper management is more open and keep the employee informed to what's going on within the company.

Cons

Loosing our 15% pay and one week of vacation to keep the company out of bankruptcy, then for the company to turn around and buy new trucks and equipment with our money.

Pros

There are not many Pros

Cons

The union workers handle freight with no regards to customer satisfaction. I witnessed countless times freight being loaded marked fragile being slammed in to trailers trying to get to fit. Freight left out of shipments on purpose because it was a volume shot and all of it wouldn't fit Food (candy,snacks) packages being ripped open and eaten. Freight being lost for weeks on end. Freight is always late. Care more about how much a trailer weighs rather than is the customers freight arriving on time Shipment being loaded on leaking and substandard trailers. EXPEDITED SHIPMENT IS A JOKE. STIme shipments are not tracked like they should and move with regular shipments YET customers pay more for it Customers shipments are damaged constantly.
