Pros

that I don't have to be there anymore!

Cons

I was told a different version of the job than what it actually ended up resulting in. Would literally come in for my regular 7-5PM shift and stare at a computer screen in a cubilcle. Constantly brushed off to somebody else to "assist" with their dirty work, in which I had no idea what I was doing. Absolutely never felt like I was productive because there is absolutely zero training provided nor any formalized training programs. My "manager" who was supposed to provide training had nothing to do with training and on-boarding her new staff member. She was constantly leaving to go on coffee-breaks, "drama-meetings", leave the building entirely to go shopping at Target after already having an hour lunch! Yeah!!, Take overly excessive smoke-breaks!! Was literally told "to figure it out" or leave because she had too much going on herself for one-to-one training. It is obvious that your managers don't know how to train people and clearly don't know what they are doing in their roles if they can't explain how to even do basic stuff and why you do it to begin with!

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.
