Pros

Work days are Monday through Friday with the latest shift being 10AM to 7PM. They are very understanding if you have a valid reason for being late or calling out as long as you do not make a habit of it. If you like working in a typical, corporate cubical environment where you come in, do your job and then leave it at the office when your shift is over, Landstar is good place to do it at.

Cons

A few of their departments are understaffed which creates an extremely stressful environment to operate in. When the department is busy, one person carries out the workload of four and because the department remains understaffed, there is very little opportunity for advancement. / You must show proof of medical coverage if you do not want to participate in their insurance programs, otherwise you are forced to participate. / Their corporate culture is stagnant.
