Business Outlook
Pros
Great pay and benefits, company perks, and a great investment/retirement package. Good place to start a new career.
Cons
Terrible work/life balance. 12-16 hours at the home terminal to rest and 36 to 48 hours out on trips. 24/7 call rosters, no scheduled days off to plan on family time. No provisions or time to move family or household to new work locations. Many new families are geographically separated for long periods of time. Manpower shortages cause constant reassignments so you may move your family to your assigned location and end up working in another state for months. No consideration for family. Constant conflict between Union and Management, not much support from either side for the new guy trying to figure things out.
