Pros

Health insurance. (No employee contribution for insurance) Easy work.

Cons

Everything else. Low pay. Work conditions. Equipment. Management. Long hours on some days, then no work on others. Seasonal work. No breaks. No lunch. No personal days. No cell phones allowed. No sick days. Dirty work. You will never get more than two weeks vacation. They will lie to you about how much money you will make. You'll be told you'll make at least 27 or more per hour. YOU ARE NOT GUARANTEED AN HOURLY WAGE! This is important because you will be working 5 to 15 hours for free every week. You will average 18 to 23 dollars straight time a week and this is only if you speed and cut corners anywhere you can due to long delays with traffic, loading and unloading. This is a perfect job if you don't care about making money or your driving record and want easy work.

Pros

Owners are men of integrity. Employees are valued. Coworkers are friendly. Great benefits. Salaries are fair. Workspaces are up to date.

Cons

Presently under construction, but the end result will be worth the uncomfortable spaces employees are in now. No other cons to speak of.

Pros

Once you have seniority (which takes years) the pay is decent.

Cons

Deceptive practices include 1. Paying less than minimum wage during 2 week training period. You'll average about $3-$4 per hour. How they get away with this is mind blowing. It's illegal. 2. They use you during training period. Because they know that you are not costing them anything. They work you long hours and use you for additional manual labor, even past 12 hours. The trainer even goes home and leaves you to work. 3. They promise "Plenty of hours". The hiring Manager, even promised "Oh ya, you'll get 40 hours right now during the summer and fall season, then it will drop off due to inclement weather". This is nonsense. At the Wheatfield location, even the drivers with some seniority are lucky to get 1-2 days per week. 4. Pay differential. I was recruited under the preface that pay was $34 per hour. But was then steered to the Wheatfield location where the starting pay is $20 per hour. BIG difference. Nonsense. I am an OTR truck driver with over 6 years experience. $20 an hour is an insult. Doesn't matter if I'm driving in the corn fields or in the city. 5. Blatant dishonesty and misleading promises to try and keep drivers only for when they need them. Good luck getting a straight answer to your questions, especially about hours. 6. Assigning uneducated little boys to do their training who haven't a clue what they are doing. Its a joke.
