Pros

Many drivers are great to work with.

Cons

A DYI sign on the parking lot fell, hit, and damaged my car more than a year ago and they are still trying to figure out if they are liable for the damage!!! Management is dysfunctional. They will lie to you face. They treat people like slaves and robots. They put policy and related coworkers ahead of safety. They feed people under them to upper management. It is up to YOU to make sure you are getting paid for the hours you work. Payroll is often inaccurate due to a confusing complicated analog AND digital system. You literally need to journal all your time and activity each day if you want to get paid for your time worked. If there is a problem with your time, you will have a small window of time to catch the payroll guy in his office because he only does this part time and beware, the Payroll guy is a jerk.
