Pros

Good pay and tons of opportunity for overtime. If your a single person or someone with adult kids this is a great opportunity.

Cons

No work life balance. You're always away on trips until you gain seniority to get the same route. Sometimes you have to wake up during your down time to attend to late stops. Not much room for advancement. Coworkers take advantage of new people.

Pros

Pay is decent, and they have an ok healthcare plan

Cons

Overworked employees, constantly understaffed, constantly stressed, they can never get their paychecks done correctly the complete ineptitude is beyond comprehension. The consistency of management not actually giving a care is clear, they never seem to be able to answer questions professionally but rather they beat around the bush and never give clear answers. When you bring an issue up they constantly pass the buck and take no accountability but rather put all blame onto OBS and consistently looking for ways to write them up for missing or over looking the smallest of things. The amount of negativity that is given to the OBS team makes one to think their value and worth knowing they have no value in excelling or even have opportunities available to them to advance within the company (growth and development in this company is not a thing). The amount of racism, favoritism, and interoffice relations makes one wounded if they are running a dating service or a business. Management clearly is intolerant of OBS but OBS is literally the heart of this company even though they are treat the worst.
