Horrible shop management attitude

Pros

Great truck to work on and all new state of the art equipment. Learn lots about recalls and electronics.

Cons

Shop management is so caught up in the their clique, if you are not part of the circle your out forever. Lots of employees are so scared of speaking they turn a blind eye to the managers mismanage. They don't stick up for their guys and enforce their rules through coming down harder on their supervisors who are stressed out. Constantly threatened people with SRT's and "new policies". If safety is so good how did a employee in the shop almost get crippled. Instead they say to enforce safety rules harder already in place. They think no place is better, and as steady. When you bring this up with anyone your either told to be quiet or HR will be concerned and nothing done. Calgary shop is only a place to get an apprenticeship and then move out. Pay is substantially lower than anywhere. No pay will be rewarded to you on your annual review. Most people threaten to quit and days before you leave they pull you in to "negotiate" p.s. Usually not what you ask for even if it is reasonable.

Pros

They can be flexible allowing a driver to work full or part-time, yearly, if you wanted to seasonally they accommodate you.

Cons

Just like every other trucking company they can't stress enough how strict they are with the log book rules yet the only people who don't seem to be on board with that are the dispatchers.
