YRC Freight reviews

managing teamsters was like herding lazy cats. Manager told me when he hired me that I wouldn't work graveyards and max hours would be 50 hours a week. After I was hired I was put immediately on graveyards and worked 65+ hours a week (salary pay). Training involved throwing me in the water and seeing if I could swim. No manuals. Most of my training came from disgruntled teamsters who didn't want to help. At the end of each shift I was lectured in front of anyone present by the manager for up to an hour about how I wasn't pulling my weight. After 8 months the manager was fired and replaced with new. The hours stayed the same but I wasn't lectured. Through it all corporate big wigs would show up to lecture. "Why cant you get these lazy cats to perform like raging bulls?" (Because there contract gives them more rights, privileges, and job security than I have).

Large company. Too many layers of management and internal red tape to get anything accomplished for the customer base. AE's spend more time performing administrative duties (aka redundant reporting to upper management) on a weekly basis. Requirements of the AE to perform 2x's the amount of sales calls/day than industry standard. Not given time to properly prepare for sales calls. Therefore not able to perform quality calls with customers to truly create value & move customers through the sales cycle. Constantly in a defensive position due to level of service provided to the customer base. Benefits changed in 2015 & cost to the employee increased by 200% out of pocket. No work life balance.
