"Family Owned" in TransWest speak is just another way of saying "siphon the money into George Eidsness's pockets" - Manager Transwest Inc Employee Review

Some of the worst benefits I've ever seen and overall the cheapest company for which I've had the displeasure of working. The TransLease location in Commerce City wouldn't even spring for coffee and a coffee maker... everywhere I turned was a ridiculous level of frugality and lack of appreciation for staff. The whole organization and its subsidiaries, of which there are many (Trans Lease, Summit Body, Transwest Buick GMC, etc). is really just a vehicle (no pun intended) to put money into the Eidsness family's pockets. The atmosphere can be very Kindergarten or prison-like. The "at-will employment" contracts that you sign to be a part of Trans West are very much in effect - you're always only one mistake away from getting the boot.
