Pros

If you have literally no other choice, at least they do pay you... minimally, of course. If you're looking for getting paid below market average, sure that's a pro.

Cons

Anyone that is at C level is REWARDED greatly by keeping costs down. They get stock benefit out the wazoo for keeping their departments cost low, they do that by not allowing for raises of their employees, bullying people out of positions, and making everyone work more and more while not changing pay for the increase workload and time. This is one of the most corrupt, backwards companies that I have ever had the disprivledge of working for as a member of IT. The whole design is to make the rich get richer and encourage toxic working environments, while having total control of HR so your only way of dealing with the problem is by leaving it completely. I have a meeting recorded with the CIO saying to just shut up and color. No one wants to hear you "complain" about how things are mismanaged, mislead, nor how the people are mistreated. If you value your time or yourself, steer WAY clear of this company.

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.
