Pros

8 hours of thorough training right into a "jack of all traits" position helped with my adjustment to new surroundings. Management has strong skill set in "do or die" motivation tactics. CEO and VPs promote a glass door view into the the companies profitability by sending out daily reports on their success. Commission makes a huge difference when you get to the 1 year mark, I was content with the annual salary of $31,000 because of the great benefits but the .005% commission really made the difference for me. The night phones once a week and once a month mandatory weekend appearance definitely helped me manage my time and learn how to perform on little hours of sleep

Cons

Some of the language used in the office I did not care for, definitely not a work atmosphere for the weary. Management consist of a close group of buddies who have built a solid business model on the false hope that there is life after being a pod leader or branch manager. HR seems to be all over the reviews here so I am curious as to how a company can encourage its employees to write positive reviews and HR can fill out ones for workers who are "too busy" ? Promotions consist of taking on more responsibility for a little pay increase, which I understand is typical in most promotions, but then putting it on your shoulders to pay the hungry eyes that assist in your pods operations is just mean. Turn over is high but the transportation industry in its own right has above average turnover. It is a great place to start out but a future is not here and its the truth. Any advancement is based on your relationship with the CEO and VP which is hard to do when they only came to our office to point out the negatives.

Pros

The benefits of working here are boiled down to free snacks and coffee, with the exception of meeting a few coworkers I still keep in touch with.

Cons

Long hours, little pay. Literally have nightmares from working here. People would come in high and late and would be awarded employee of the month( LOL)...Don't even try to take holiday time off to spend with your family for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Upper management will ridicule you behind your back. I'm not talking Thanksgiving day or Christmas Day. I'm speaking on the behalf of people whom have families elsewhere and have to travel a day before/and day after. The "pod leaders" are so stressed and overworked they are Negative Nancy's and will cuss at you and treat you like garbage. Certain pod leaders and coworkers would sit there all day and message about other coworkers in the company ( not good things). If you enjoy staring at a computer screen all day and answering a phone non stop booking loads and making appointments, go for this job! The human mind can only concentrate on 3 tasks at a time, R2 expects you to be a super human and focus on 10 things at once. The HR department is amazing at what they do by passive aggressively replying back to every single one of these posts. Maybe just fix what goes on in the inside of the company versus hiding behind a computer screen all day trying to prove your points.

Pros

Can make decent money as a pod leader or branch manager, if you end up making it that far

Cons

Management, lack of training, lack of communcation, EXTREME turnover, turnover causes more weekend work for the same pay, nobody actually wants to be there. It's getting to the point where if they interview you and you look presentable, they will offer you the job. Stay away from it.
