Pros

Good benefits, 401K match. Work from home.

Cons

There is way too much pressure on Buyers at this company on their service levels that are unrealistic. There are so many variables that are out of your control, but hit your numbers. You have to speak to them. I have never dealt with such unreliable trucks that are late. The buying is so complicated due to building truckloads, no backorders, vendor cuts, forecast errors, customers overpulling, etc. Any experienced Buyer- beware of taking a job here. The buying is completely different, and you are thrown in when you first start with little direction. My manager & Buyer II are not supportive and useless.

Pros

401k is good Benefits got more affordable

Cons

The biggest con is what must these big companies fail to focus on. Money. If to ask, even if you document measurable results ,that i spent a long time composing. You are told that other mechanics get the same or around the same pay. Then say no. Going the extra mile everyday, doesn't get you anything . Yes it's pay. We start a little better than market. But don't go up from there. Yes not right. Not we cannot get any overtime to make up for the lack of raise . It forces good mechanics out . Also they focus way to much on irrelevant things like dei etc .it should be the work you do not what you look like.
