Pros

Great training program when utilized properly. Take home truck, gas card. Pay was decent.

Cons

Just a bit much when it comes to their customers. They nickle and dime them. Plus they will put procedures in place but when you enforce them and a customer conplains they will side w the customer. Grow a pair and stick to your guns. Customer isnt always right.
