Pros

Daily overtime after 8. Union job.

Cons

You've got to put in a lot of time to get into a decent truck. Paid to the minute. You will get wet. They don't know exactly how many customers they have the next day, so a newer driver is technically "on call". That means, go home not knowing if you will work the next day. Wait by the phone till noon to see if they call you in. Base pay is low. Customers/pump operators are sphincter holes who will treat you like garbage.

Pros

Overall, it’s a really good company—probably some of the best benefits in the industry, and that’s one of the main reasons I chose to work here.

Cons

My advice to anyone considering it: be careful about the promises you’re made during the hiring process. Make sure everything is put in writing, and make sure it’s exact—your position, job description, responsibilities, and what is expected of you. Things can change. If the person who hired you leaves or moves on, the person who replaces them may see things differently and change everything. That can include doing away with the position you were hired for and moving you into a completely different role—one you may have never left your previous job to take in the first place.
