Pros

A lot of overtime. Still get a few gifted things.

Cons

Well overworked with zero chance of pay increase or promotion. 20% home life. Don't ever plan anything because chances are you will not make it. Raises are promised but never given. Advancement is a joke and if you do get the title no pay increase. The buyout has taken out 50% of the loyal employees due to lack of payment for the 200% increase in workload and still gets upset when you make 40 hours. 40 hours is frowned upon and management gets pissed when you make o.t. Used to be a career employee but Ill be cutting my losses and going somewhere else. Its bad when the old school head honchos suddenly resigned within a weeks notice if that. If you see Merfish or United Pipe just pass...

Hello, thanks for your feedback. Most of our drivers work on daily delivery schedules which take them home every night. Paid training, bonuses and other incentives are offered in order to keep our fleet and staff up-to-date with current DOT regulations. OT opportunities are frequent, and we are adding staff to match market demand. We’re always looking to address any concerns our team has, which has helped us build a strong workplace community. We’re looking forward to some amazing opportunities the United/Merfish merger will offer. All candidates will be able to meet with us and check out the operation that our team is so proud of!

Pros

It doesn't matter what location you work, everyone (for the most part) is willing to help. Good team dynamics.

Cons

Things could be so simple, but it seems as if they rather make it hard. Access to information and transparency would help employees work more efficiently.
