Terrible place to work

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Union benefits are good except the vacation. Nothing else I can think of.

Cons

They expect you to do the work of 3-4 people by yourself because they are so understaffed. Equipment is very outdated. Tractors looked on the brink of falling apart. They say safety is important but then tell you to haul butt as fast as you possibly can to get the work done. PDA system was very tedious. You had to punch in every single item by hand coming off and on the trailers. I guess no one there has heard of a bar code scanner. No vacation for 2 years. Everyone was so busy and overwhelmed that there was a very big lack of communication and training.
