Pros

Get to dispatch from home, they pay is good and we are still hourly even thats going to change to peace rate, no other pros as far as I can think.

Cons

Worst company to work for, they make you work long hours which means no personal time for yourself or family, you work 6 days a week with only Sunday off which I'm sure it's because by law they have to give you a day out of the week or else I wouldn't doubt they would make us work all 7 days, management is horrible we got no In house promotions, they hire managers from God knows where to run and manage a market, travel time between jobs are on average an hour away, you have to work atleast 12 hours a day or until there's no more work so occasionally 14-16 hours a day, and make sure you wake up again the next morning on time or they will write you up. My advice to anyone considering a job here is please don't unless you don't want a personal life. Oh by the way when your in the interview process they promise a set schedule to work only 4 days 10 hour shifts and as soon as your in the field they flip the story and tell you it's the nature of the business and if you don't like it quit, this happened to more than a few new hires

Pros

Nothing at all. It's all listed in the cons.

Cons

We were sold off to them from Optimum. Quickly trying to become the worst company in America to work for. They took away our vacation. Our sick time. Our personal time. They took away holidays. Now they are saying that working a holiday is mandatory unless you asked it off 2 weeks before it (they gave notice of that less than a week before it). They monitor wherever you are, doing whatever, soon as that truck moves. You aren't allowed to backup. If you call in two times in a 90 day period, you're in trouble. If it gets to 8 times (the last call in continues it on) you're fired. They overwork you because they are "behind" and you're just expected to work later. We're expected to do more and for less. They even denied our merit raises saying they didn't believe in them. They don't care about your family and wanting to see them. To be able to spend time outside of work. DO NOT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY IF YOU CAN HELP IT!
