Pros

If their are any pros about this company I didn't expirence it during my employment their and I'm being honest about that.

Cons

Can't speak to other areas but the Charlotte, N.C. locations is a complete disaster. Management want listen to input and when things go wrong what they were warn about they play the blame game. Came in not knowing anything about the geographical area of NC and SC and completely screwed up routes having drivers going from one end of the state to the other screwing up medical labs and supplies. Management completely suck micro managing and was more concern about what drivers were doing than making sure that jobs were getting done. The turnover is tremendous to the point they have too use outside contractors to do most of the work load not too mention the pay sucks. Horrible place to work because you will be answering to people who know less about what you are suppose to be doing than you. If you are in desperate need of a job then go for it but by all means continue to look cause this place is as uncertain as the lottery.

Pros

Its a great job if you're in school, but do not expect a career out of it if you are a driver. They work with your schedule, supervisor are pretty helpful and some really care about the drivers which i appreciate a lot. Good dental, vision, and medical, and 2 weeks vacation for full time employees. 1 week for part time. The job is super easy and laid back. Scanner is really easy to learn. And you're are pretty much your own boss when you're driving.

Cons

okay the cons, here we go. So first i will talk about dispatch, You will have a love, hate relationship with them, but mostly hate. They throw jobs at u sometimes that are not even near your route, they do not realize that some of your stops on your scheduled have late times, and when you throw in stops(we called them same-days, which are stops that are added that day that are not apart of your scheduled stops you do everyday) that have the same closing times but both are in the completely opposite ends of the worlds, and you still got more stops to go in between, and you try calling dispatch back to explain how its completely impossible for me to make it to that stop, but cant comprehend as to why i cant do it, and try to explain to me that i can make it, when they are in a whole different state and rely on a computer to tell them everything which constantly has to be maintenance and fixed, so then u just agree at that point and hang up and call your supervisor which 90% of the time, they will work with you instead of dispatch since they know how screwed up they are sometimes. Second, and last thing. PAY. We start out at 11 dollars an hour. While other medical courier driver(DMC, Beaumont, quest, etc..) Start out at 15 dollars. To be honest, when i first applied to this job, i didnt know 11 dollars was way to low for what we do. But when the competition starts out at 15, it really puts medspeeds driver down for being super underpaid. And we have a high turn over rate because of it, I think this company has a fantastic atmosphere, and great co-workers and supervisors, but if u want to succeed and destroy the competition, you seriously gotta pay your workers right, or they wont give you the 100% because why should they when they do not feel appreciated for not getting paid what they deserve.
