Pros

This must be a joke!

Cons

Don't get injured on the job with this lousy company. They will make sure they don't pay your medical bills and deny your workers comp claim. They are under no obligation to send you a copy of your denial in writing. This is a Totalitatrian regime, very dictatorial! You seriously injure your back, and they ask you to wait until you get approval to see a doctor for medical care. Once you injure your back, they still expect you that day to deliver a load. That's an insult to injury!!!! What part of injury do these guys have trouble comprehending???? Perhaps Werner is waiting for you to die before they take any immediate action to process your workers comp claim and pay it. This company has a complete disregard to assume responsiblity and pay for their injured employee's medical treatment. Get a decent employer that knows how to take care of its employees when they are injured on the job. Otherwise, you will live in hell not having access to medical care because of a greedy company such as Werner refuses to take care of its employees when they are truly injured on the job. Thanks a lot Werner, you suck as an employer! Working for Werner is like signing a deal with the devil! Werner, I hope you find more idiots to take advantage of!

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.
