Pros

Training is great, hours are not too strenuous, co-workers are ok

Cons

The Company it self is horrible top to bottom, bad customer service, bad claims, bad on time percentages. As an account manager it's tough to be succesful when the company screws up everything you go out and land.

Pros

There are a few good people in the building, but isn't that anywhere?

Cons

Starts with ownership (GD needs to update). There is absolutely NO regard for the employees who work here. There is a lack of leadership, direction, and it seems the worst traits of the previous generation were passed to the next. The onset of the pandemic was an opportunity, which was taken full advantage of, to layoff and terminate employees. Many people with a decade or more of tenure were let go, strangely without much of a dip in business. Very humanitarian to send loyal employees out the door during a time where employment seems tough to attain. The work environment is toxic and perks few and far between. Departments squabble over resources and some employees are keen on telling others how to do their job. Salaried full time employees are required to work 45 hours per week and their time is tracked and monitored. The Home Office treats the Field Ops/Sales like garbage. I don't know if it would be better to be working here and getting a paper check every Friday (no direct deposit), or unemployed during a pandemic right now. My advice to people applying here is to take these truthful reviews seriously before moving forward.

Pros

There are no pros, I am required to put at least 5 words. I wouldn’t recommend this company to my worst enemy.

Cons

Flat out..this company does not care about their employees or customers. I have never seen a company treat people like Central Transport does. You will get better benefits and basic human courtesy anywhere else but here. If you work here you can expect: No support from your manager. RDS’s are no support or help at all. Wasted layer of management. You are out on a island doing this all on your own. Sinking. If you have a customer that does not go by Amazon, they will not care about them. Vulgar derogatory language at the terminals. Talking about other female employees weight, how to just dress up as a female and go sell. It’s gross. HR is a joke and should not be allowed to have human in their title. They are not human and do not treat people like humans. A company that constantly thinks you are trying to pull something over on them. They will not trust you from day one. Case and point, they do not have direct deposit because the owner truly believes if you get a check deposited at midnight on Thursday, you will not show up to work on Friday. Owners and uppermanagement that do not, I repeat do not care about you and are only trying to build their net worth. Customers who continually ask you why you would ever work for a company like central transport, because like you soon will be, they got screwed over by CT as well. I have had customers in tears about how CT almost put them out of business, and they will change their company name before ever giving them another cent. Aforementioned customers will never trust you or CT. Your “sales calls” will consist of them bashing CT and what a joke they are. Do not stoop to their level and work for them. I highly regret it.

We're sorry to read your poor review, and equally sorry to read that you believe Human Resources and Management doesn't care. We hope that during your tenure you spoke with one of these groups - Human resources, your supervisor, or the Vice President of Sales regarding your concerns and frustrations. There are also anonymous hotlines available to all employees at all times . Our employees are our most valuable asset, and we credit them as the reason we have been able to grow and prosper for the last 90 years. We wish you the best of luck in the future.
