Poor Communication

Pros

Benefits are on par with the industry. Pay scale is good. Fair amount of PTO.

Cons

Communication is lacking on most levels, employees are left to self manage days off and coverages with no real input from management. The most basic of training on equipment so you don't get hurt. No oversite . Better to complain to your truck, it gets the same result and you wont get fired. No written or posted schedules.
