      Just a paycheck

      Truck driver
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pay isn't horrible and equipment is fairly new

      Cons

      You're just a driver code and your opinions and suggestions are neither valued or respected. You will be told to drive out your full hours and use your exception to forward loads although it's illegal. Mandatory slip seat with no repercussions for drivers who break or leave unit a pigsty. Send you BS surveys but don't actually do anything about real issues. Send you safety messages that clearly indicates staff has no idea what's involved in driving a semi. If you just shut up and do exactly what you're told (regardless if it's unsafe or illegal) you'll make a mediocre paycheck.

      Toxic and manipulative

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Made some lifelong friends (which were necessary to get through some of these days). Free food and company parties

      Cons

      Cowan was a wonderful opportunity to learn exactly how a business shouldn’t be run. Work here long enough and/or you are related to someone in the family? VP title for you! Actual talent, innovation of any sort or wanting to do something different have no place here, and it’s a shame because Cowan had the opportunity to do things better, but they opted for nepotism instead. Those who do get promoted greatly lack the skills to do their actual job, and it’s not uncommon for them to verbally abuse employees they don’t like or bully them into quitting.
