Pros

I loved everyone in the IT staff I worked with, they were all wonderful folks trying to do the best they can in the environment they worked. If you are looking for a good, secure place to work, I think this is the place. They know their market well and feel like a very well-established and secure company.

Cons

This is a trucking company, not an IT company. IT is simply a tool to get the trucking done. I have previously worked at a company that threaded their employees like adults and we acted like adults. During covid, when working at home, upper management had all of IT fill out a daily activity sheet. To the best of my knowledge, none of IT management looked at it, it was only for the upper brass. The upper management did not trust the cloud so hosted everything themselves, which, considering the size of the organization, seems to be more of a control issue then anything else. In the end, I left because I felt like IT was treated by upper management like the folks that work in the docks. Maybe the folks on the docks need to be managed that way, good IT professionals don't, another opertunity came knocking so I moved on.

Pros

Benefits are decent, co workers are nice

Cons

Hiring people who do not care and put in very little effort. There are a lot of tasks assigned to CSRs and very little downtime to take care of them. The phone rings off the hook.
