Pros

There are no pros HR will con people just so they can get rid of them! They acted like they were family but than turned around stabbed people in the back.

Cons

HR beaware not everything is tight lips.. just because someone is no longer there doesn't mean they don't know the truth of what goes on..

Good place to work

Pros

Decent pay for the work, good benefit package. Decent hours. Don't do anything to irritate management and you'll be just fine.

Cons

Stressful at times, especially when we get busy. Some of the equipment has seen better days, starting off is a little rough since it is seniority based. But if you can fight through it, it's worth it.

Pros

New equipment, experienced dock and p&d drivers that work extremely hard, good reputation with customers, quarterly bonuses for management. Every driver has a pallet jack.

Cons

Make it easier to get rid of non productive employees. Take care of employees that go above and beyond. Lack of straps in some service center.

Thank you for your review! I'm glad you like working at Dayton Freight Lines! If you have interest in giving away more promotional items to Customers, I'd suggest talking to your IQ leader, if you haven't already! If not, you can always call our HR Dept. and we can see what we can do from here!
