Pros

* The actually paid overtime to non-supervisor engineers. I'm not sure if this is still in place. * There were decent benefits while I worked there, including generous tuition reimbursement. * Plenty of on sight activities such as Health, Education and Book fairs as well as sports. * Cheap underutilized gym on campus

Cons

The company turns a blind eye towards some of the most sadistic managers I have ever encountered. I had one manager who would regularly call me up late at night drunk and belligerent to scream at me about issues that had been solved months earlier. This same man also thought it would be a funny practical joke to call me back from a family vacation in order to deal with a crisis that didn't exist. The office environment itself consisted of constant screaming of obscenities, racial slurs and throwing of objects at people. Those who complained to HR were often never seen from again. Having to talk to customers and suppliers over the phone was embarrassing. The worst part was the constant threat that you would be the next person to be chewed out, often over something you were not even responsible for. I know this all sounds too extreme to be true. I wouldn't have believed any of this if I hadn't witnessed it with my own eyes. I am surprised there haven't been any major lawsuits, at least that I know of.

Pros

there is opportunity for those who excel. The campus is very nice and well set up with exercise centers, putting green, fire pit and sand volleyball courts.

Cons

Although they talk about out of the box thinking, there always seems to be resistance to that. It seems that costs of doing business are being pushed down to the employees such as cell phones. Maybe providing your own laptop will be next?

Pros

I work in the World Headquarters located in Lisle IL. Its a wonderful building with great amenities. I love my job and the people I work with. This is still very much a trucking company, do not let the shinny exterior fool you. This, to me is a good thing, the company is full of real traditional, hard working, genuine employees. There are opportunities for growth, but you have to seek them out.

Cons

The current financial status of the overall business is not in a good place. Former Sr Management made some bad calls and we have been trying to stoop the bleeding for about 2 years now. Too much middle management, lots of cooperate BS (standard in a company this size I suppose).
