Pros

The money has risen to the point that it is acceptable. home terminal management is great except for DM who doesn't care about much. Staff in Phoenix are for the most part awesome. They have good safety and good equipment for the most part as well.

Cons

Vacation and home time policy. Sure, they give you vacation but you can only take 4 days at a time or you give up your company assigned truck. Same thing with home time. You are suppose to get 1 day per week out, but again, you cannot take more 3 or you turn in your truck. They say 4 but it is 3. The day you come in is a work day and doesn't count toward home time. Then you have 3 days home time and must leave out on the 4th morning so they are holding your vacation/home time over your head as hostage for keeping your truck. Their crash policy is outrageous! If you are driving in the terminal and barely dent/scratch a tail light......oops, that's a crash and it stays on your "record" for 3 years even though there is no police report and/or significant damage. They do have "tiers" of damage....God help you if you have any damage over what I described. They have a decent quarterly bonus, but any little thing will kick you out of their top status and you drop to a lower and less desirable level.

Pros

There aren't any pros besides them lying to you making you feel like you're the liar...

Cons

They make you feel like a liar with a false positive hair follicle test then they cut you off and don't even return any of your calls or give you a chance to prove yourself. The recruiter was really my friend until those results came in and then every time I got to try to talk to him to prove that they were wrong never even returned my call or answer the email
