Pros

Pay was ok, vacation, equipment, the day I quit

Cons

Everything where to start I been working ten yrs and looking hopefully I get hired of all the applications I filled out with other companies, to begin management hire nothing but relatives and people they know for all the management jobs and best positions never giving hard working employees an opportunity supervisors retaliate if not done their way DON SLAGER wake the f-up and look at your management there is people under you that don't get paid the 7 million dollars a year like you that have a harder time providing for their families yall always talk about safety and this is by far the worst company in safety management makes you do things that are unsafe as heck and while your at work having to do it their at home and people trust me if you have an accident it's your fault no matter what it was it was preventable there all about picking up trash at all cost I got tired of typing but I can go on forever about what I seen in ten yrs and experienced

Pros

Paid weekly and benefits are median

Cons

Very unorganized from top to bottom. Everyone works such long hours it creates a very cut-throat environment. Supervisor skill sets are very subpar and they are over worked, rarely completing any issues brought to them by drivers or other employees. Driver pay checks are almost always incorrect, with hours and tonnage left off checks. Upper management seems to vanish when there is turmoil due to relentless broke down trucks and discouraged drivers.
