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.

Pros

I can't think of a single pro. It was nice to have experience in a unionized setting on my resume.

Cons

Long hours, management at my terminal didn't support eachother, the terminal manager was overworked and a dick , poor wages, difficult to get time off, and you're stuck dealing with whiny Teamster's that have poor work ethics.

Pros

I worked there 23 years and all was well til Yellow bought Roadway Express and ran us into the ground. High salary until cuts can into affect.

Cons

Yellow ran Roadway Express into the ground. Union workers do not care about the success or profitability of the company. Union protects the worst members Management afraid to fire pigs.
