Pros

They have an ok benifits package but ask employes to contribute to much to keep benifits up. They would be ok to work for in a short term one or two years/

Cons

It takes several months to get full benifits package. They have an extream lack of respect for there workforce and show very little trust in there employes.

Pros

It is a family owned company. It is a company with very high standards of it self and of employees. The employee benifits are very good. Nine holidays, six sick days, health care and vision care with options to fit different people (PPO, Health screening). Job security is very good.Company has picnics and every other year the company will put on a night out with dinner and bring in entertainment (Beach Boys, Huey Lewis)for management and surpport.The pay is very good in smoe areas but needs some help in other areas.

Cons

Some jobs are dead end jobs in management. We are loosing our small company atmosphere and becoming numbers instead of named employees.Not enough consideration given to the production people. HR and purchasing make decissions with out talking to or asking for input from the operationg department managers. The company needs to under stand the we are one of the largest truck fleets on the West coast.
