Pros

Great people to work with. For the most part we are not micromanaged. If you do your job you don't get hassled.

Cons

The facility is dirty and very dusty. People throw The maintenance shop needs to be upgraded. We have very basic tools, I have used my own to make the job easier on many occasions.

Pros

Opportunity to make great money. Lunch on Fridays. Vacation and sick policy. Great truck maintenance crew that takes care of problems before your next shift.

Cons

Constant rule changes and bans on things that let us enjoy driving a truck. No cruise control, driver facing cameras with AI micromanaging. No Bluetooth headsets for phone calls. Long wait for mileage reimbursement. Random stalking of supervisors on any given day to point out things you’re doing wrong. Every morning is a meeting of a new way you can die or who screwed up across the state. Everything is tracked time wise. All of which is reasonable to track but you’re reminded of it every second you’re on the clock. Health insurance sucks. Not a terrible job all is manageable, it just takes one bad day for it to be enough.
