Pros

My original general manager. He always did what he could to keep good employees happy.

Cons

Was with company for 6 years. Under new general manager there was no respect given. Micromanaging drivers so new general manager can receive bonuses. No bonuses for drivers. No uniforms. Not even water provided. Absolutely nothing for drivers. The new general manager is unbearable.
