Pros

Good clerical job if you need experience

Cons

poor management, favoritism, poor benefits, HR department doesn't follow state laws, sexual harassment, management is all family to CFO'S and get away with anything, poor treatment unless your upper management or a VP. I don't think CEO Joe Cowan actually knows what goes on in this building as far as harassment etc, as HR tries to keep everything Hush Hush.

Pros

Fun environment and good learning experience. Anyone can get a job.

Cons

Revolving door of employees. Nepotism like crazy which is weird to see. Executives don't care about lower level employees at all and don't play by same rules as regular employees doing the same tasks.

Pros

Competitive Pay Medical Benefits Nice offices Professional Attire required by all An HR team that cares about concerns Stability I started at an entry level position and even though I'm not "related" to anyone within the company I worked my way up to Manager. I did that through hard work, a positive attitude, a willingness to learn more, and a fair boss.

Cons

The trucking industry in general will bring all types of people into your work life, some easier to get along with than others. That's life, and does not reflect the company as a whole. The industry can also be very honest/brash, which can be hard for some people to take. Again, not the fault of the company. I personally have had no cons. This job is what you make of it.
