Pros

They have a nice hotel and they cover the usual stuff, such as a Greenhouse ticket to go and stand your butt for 3 hours in the freezing cold.

Cons

Liars. Sign on bonus incorrect and if you have to go home and wait for a trainer you forfeit your sign on bonus to many new hires and no trainers so your literally sitting on your butt for WEEKS! waiting on a trainer to show up. Also they removed the generators from their trucks and you can only have up to a 150 watt poor inverter. The cigarette lighter kind, so you get NO options for entertainment to keep the evenings bearable. C.L Werner is not the CEO any longer and the new person sucks.

Pros

Great Experience, ( Exp. May Vary) This is a great job for those who are first setting foot into trucking. The orientation process is, well a process to say the least. I went in looking to do team driving and I got lucky with my partner. If you dont really have anyone waiting for you at home then this job is good. They give you plenty of opportunities to switch accounts and some have ups and downs. Some benefits are okay, and some company sponsored discounts are great. Depending on the dispatcher they can be great or on your butt, Werner does reimburse for schooling which is great but its monthly. Also you do have to train with their trainers and some are either great like mine but ive heard contrary.

Cons

Pay is absolute not adequate. You get locked to 3k a week so your pay is about $900-$1100 depending on the mileage, very rarely did I get anything above and the times I did it was reimbursment for schooling. Saftey is on our butt as they have front facing cameras. These cameras are at a detriment more than for your saftey. Some trainers are garbage, my partner had a trainer who did the bare minimum and she paid the price for it, I have to teach her how to back every now and again.
