Pros

ESOP, benefits. There are some really great employees who are trying to change the culture even though they get shut down at the upper management level

Cons

As an Ops Supervisor you will be expected to work a minimum of 50 hours while being paid for 40. Corporate is fully aware of this and looks the other way. There is little to no actual training, it’s supposed to be OTJ but that depends on how much the person you shadow actually trains you. You won’t have an actual schedule at first. One week you may come in at 6 am the next you come in at 2am and the week after that you come in at 4am, you never get acclimated to a schedule. Senior management plays favorites with supervisors who have been in collections or trucking before.

Pros

Supportive coworkers, good employee owned company with opportunities to be promoted from within. Just have to put in your time and provide solid work results via leadership qualities and strong KPI performance.

Cons

Tough Union environment to work in, and management structure is a little chaotic and inconsistent. Need to be very flexible, because policy changes happen quickly and often.
