Pros

Decent pay and travel around the US. You have to keep moving to get a decent paycheck.

Cons

Fairly decent company but most of the over the weekend and nite dispatchers are extremely lazy and are a bunch of impolite waste of human beings, and the company is definitely aware of that, that’s one of the reasons of their high turnover. And the micromanaging exceeds the sound barrier. And Marten at the moment is not doing well financially, so they are cutting a lot of expenses.

Pros

Good office camaraderie, regular PTO available for long term employees if you stay there long enough, good overall structure in place to deal with most common trucking company/industry issues.

Cons

Management has a tendency to nitpick issues. Everything is goal and growth oriented as a public company so you're always expected to do more with less. During the current trucking market they keep looking for new ways to trim the fat. This was the first year they didn't provide company calendars to employees, and got rid of the yearly floating PTO day as well. 401k contributions also diminished. There were also blatant sexist/transphobic/homophobic remarks made nearly daily and nothing was ever done about it.
