Worst Employer on my Resume

"local" truck driver

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Had a brand new Pete.

Cons

Bottom of the pit Dispatching. Corp folks in Baltimore may have completed the 5th grade. The job was tolerable until Company lost Coca Cola accounts in PA & NY to Werner. The "local" position became running like a sleeper driver with a 10 hour break every night. The reviews on their insurance plan is true. Junk. No sick days, no personal days. Gotta work a whole year to get 5 days vacation. If you last that long, make sure you use vacation before you quit because they won't pay you for it after you leave. Never worked for Swift, Schneider, or JB Hunt, but those companies actually look "good" after you try this place.

There are no pro's working at Cowan, no matter the office.

Cons

*No Training *Benefits are horrible and expensive ($300 a month for just you) *Money hungry *Unprofessional *When you are on call you work 14 days straight, one week of that you are no stop working 24 hours a day, up all night on the phone and then required to work your regular 8 hour shift. *No you don't get to choose not to be on call *Salary sucks *Don't plan on getting a lunch, no they don't pay for your lunch.
