Pros

work with disgruntled workers who do not put in their 100% let alone their 85% (-15%) and talk on their cell phones and listen to music and do not want to be bothered by dock supervisors to do work assignments while those supervisors flag down 2 or 3 people to do all the stacking work, very unorganized if you ask me, i would get jaypro loads and tire loads while a new hire gets skid loads

Cons

puts you in a crappy location to work at, unprofessional management that says racial slurs like the word kamala, favoritism if it was a yellow barn so if you were a roadway worker you would get work assignments that are tougher and treated more harsh with discipline with missing work, managers were rehired that retired cause nobody wants to work there anymore, nobody applying to work in these locations cause the area in general sucks to live in

Pros

My terminal is a smaller one so there is more of a family feel to it. We are known by our names not by our ID numbers. My bosses take genuine interests in my family and are very sincere in stressing the importance of safety. There is always oppurtunity to take leadership within the terminal. If you see something wrong or unsafe your free to stop the action or fix the action. The benefits are phenomenal for my family. Your not going to beat the benefit package anywhere else. City drivers are home every night with every weekend off. Paid overtime after 8 hours within any work day. Freedom to really get to know my customers and understand what their needs are. I actually love the fact that my customers have become great friends because of YRC Freight. I'm lucky because my terminal managers are fantastic!! I cannot say enough great things about them both!! They truly want us to succeed and do their best wherever they can.

Cons

The equipment is less than up to date. You will be in equipment that should be red tagged so pre and post trips are extremely important. You will be in the union, and you will always have those at the top that leave everything for the bottom. Their is a sense of entitlement that some display with their seniority. You will work most days a minimum of 10 hours. No uniforms!! My biggest pet peeve. We don't have uniforms provided and it takes away from our professional appearance as a team. We also need serious upgraded handheld equipment. Something like a smart phone that we can wear on us at all times.
