Pros
The best part of the job is the people. You form a bond with coworkers unlike any other company. You work daily with motivated, friendly employees who share a common vision. The vision is to flawlessly execute the shipping needs of your customers. As your successes grow as an office, you learn to trust eachother and thrive as a team. Upper management from our HQ is very supportive. A good work ethic is noticed and appreciated, and those who work hard, and work smart, are rewarded. There is a fine balance of motivation and encouragement, but also allowing employees the space to perform their own duties which they are responsible for. When an employee has to work extra hours for a project, it is often insisted that they sleep in, or get to leave early the next day as a sign of good will. Each employee starts at the Transportation Sales position, and has the ability to move up in the company through dedication and production. Monthly and yearly awards are given to deserved employees. Each office participates in a quarterly office outing to a game, concert, or event which further helps office morale. Our particular office grills food on some Fridays, to celebrate a strong week's performance. The team atmosphere is second to none, and you even grow close to employees in our other offices all over the US. Each employee has a significant role, and it takes every component for overall growth.
Cons
The job can be stressful and hours unpredictable, but that is because of how important the work is. Timely, reliable shipping is vital to a manufacturer's success. Those who deal with the stresses, and succeed despite them, are recognized for their performance.
