Pros

The people that work there are fantastic - as far as other fleet managers, CSR's, planners - their funny and awesome personalities helped lighten the stress many of my days! The pay was decent with good benefits.

Cons

You do not get training. Their way of training is sitting you with people, that aren't certified to train at Covenant, and it's sink or swim from there. The company says they pride themselves on being a Christian company. Well, let me tell you something. That's the LAST thing I experienced in my time there. They do not give a rip about their employees. They overwork their employees. They will write you up for things that either 1) you've never been train on or 2) never been talked to about to know it's an issue. In my little over a year there, and this is not an exaggeration - in fact i'm probably not even counting all of them - I watched more than 12 humans either get fired or walk out. I watched 4 Leads be Demoted. I watched new people come in for training at LEAST 2 times a month. Then the company will turn around and preach to you about how we need to fix driver turnover. CLEARLY, while driver turnover is an issue, your IN HOUSE turnover is also an issue that needs some serious focus on. Not to mention, the title as a Fleet Manager might as well be "Glorified Secretary." That's what you are. They don't let you manage. They micro-manage you and every decision you make. There's no upward movement. Do not waste your time, unless you are desperate. The Leads are not Professional.

Pros

Great weekly pay for Hazmat endorsed drivers, guaranteed weekly minimum rates, .46 cents per mile with Hazmat endorsement.

Cons

Fleet Managers are humans and therefore make mistakes. Some fleet managers have been with the company since it started and have become complacent. This complacency leads to a lack of empathy and makes the fleet manager more like a robot on the other end of the phone rather than a human with real human emotions.

Pros

A long time ago this was a good company to start working for if you were a non-college grad looking for an office job. It was hard work, but fair pay, and interesting stuff to do. I have been in a different industry for a long time, got laid off and after a year of unemployment and nothing biting, I went back to work for them. Things had changed quite a bit in Operations.

Cons

Unfortunately they pretty much only accept college grads now in the chew them up and spit them out model. (This would be for the Operations dept). Not a good choice for most grads unless you are desperate, because you're chances of ending up with a termination on your resume right out of the gate will be about 50-50. I left after a few months for a job that came up in my industry, but a lot of folk got fired while i was there that didn't deserve it. Some of it was pretty heartless and a lot of it stupid.
