Pros

Flexibility from boss but not company. No micromanaging. Good vacation time.

Cons

This company does not care about its employees. They offer horrible benefits, pay poorly, and lack communication across all levels, from my division to corporate. They operate as if it is the past without upgrading systems. They do not offer competitive wages, and refuse to do anything positive for their employees because it would cost them a penny. A group of people over 60 run the company, so you can imagine how stuck in the past this place is. My direct boss is great to work for but the leadership of this organization is driving me to look elsewhere.

Pros

Being away from the shop and in charge of your day, lots of PTO, overtime, easy going coworkers, modern well maintained vehicles, air conditioned and clean shop, great when left alone

Cons

The pay is laughable for driving over a thousand miles every week in all weather conditions, no room for growth (supervisor told me being a driver was a dead end in my yearly review), pay raises are abysmal and sometimes people don't even get one, some management is completely clueless yet walk around making changes without consulting with the people that actually know what they're doing, huge turnover rate, senority means nothing, some days you're stuck in the shop just doing busy work for 8 hours, management is constantly doing sneaky manipulative practices to get you to do more work for no more pay
