Pros

It's a job, nothing more, nothing less. The only perk is you got to use. the equipment for personal use, but if upper management knew that, I am sure it would change.

Cons

The pay stucture is horrible, especially for the counter staff an Dispatchers who do the lion's share of the work with no recognition and no opportunity for advancement. If you like being screamed and cussed at and being called vulgar by a PCM (Branch Manager) for no reason and by someone who has absolutely no clue what is going on, then this may be the job for you! (and yes, I have the texts to prove it) Just make sure you do not count on the profit sharing bonuses that are promised to you, they will find a way to always get out of paying them. The working environment is far less than desireable. Also good luck with the racoon infestation and fease that you will have to endure because the PCM refuses to do anything about it! We had raccoons running overhead on our ceiling tiles where they could fall through at anytime, and often did. Ceiling tiles above the breakroom table were missing due to raccoons falling from there. Yum Yum, who would want to be forced to eat under that (nothing like a little raccoon dung to spice up that sandwitch!). AND YES, I have the pictures to prove it! Safety takes a back seat to everything, even though the company will tell you it does not! I could write a book on all the unsafe practices that the PCM let slide by, some of which are very illegal! But hey, don't worry, you will not have to deal with safety problems very long, because if you bring attention to the issues, you will no longer have a job!.

Pros

The local teams doing the work in the branches are the only team members that make it a positive experience.

Cons

Senior field leadership and it's byzantine hierarchy is filled with matrixed leadership jobs for people who have been good soldiers with long tenure. They don't know anything about the actual work at the branch level or in the markets. Often they spend thousands at meetings in hotels and at bars in the evening which is extremely unprofessional. These same individuals press their political advantage to make sure the people they don't like get dismissed or marginalized and often move people into leadership to virtue signal DEI values. C-suite has been lost since 2021. Budget forecasting, fleet planning, and execution has been weak and lacks strong leadership position. Geographic territories don't make any sense and regions are oddly divided up based on tenure loyalties and not the needs of the business. Senior leadership can be counted on to work Tuesday - Thursday but have no problem asking front line employees to diminish their salary with 60 hour weeks, and pointless Saturday shifts.
