Pros

Best quality drivers and front line associates in the industry. Dispatchers, mechanics, drivers, etc. are world class.

Cons

Company has been shrinking for years. If Executive team spends most of it's time preparing their story-line so they can bedazzle board of directors. ZERO financial transparency. Bobble head & politics: to advance in the company one must bow to the top 3 executives (CL, MR and BM). While bowing to those three, your butt is facing the customer and the people doing the work. And the bigger the dog, the closer to home they poop. Financial misallocation; inappropriate relationships; intimidation & clever remarks reign. This leadership team used to mock Don Schneider behind his back. Not sure why Chris doesn't seem to recognize those same things are going on behind his back. Simply a lack of loyalty to one another, much less to the people who are putting the food on the table (i.e. Drivers and front line).

Pros

The people throughout the company that work here are some of the best you could ever want to work with. Middle management is solid for the most part (a few exceptions) and does their best to grow their direct reports. Many opportunities to learn as long as you are willing to work the extra hours to do so. Employee empowerment is generally very good.

Cons

Schneider is becoming a shell of the employee friendly workplace that it was 5 years ago. Now that the Schneider family seems to be content to let others run the business that bears their last name, things appear to be going downhill fast. Company has begun to communicate to its employees in sneaky methods. Good/great employees are leaving at alarming rates, adding to an already overworked staff. Morale has fallen faster than one could probably have ever imagined for such an employee-oriented company in the last five years. Communication to employees is almost nil, versus a very welcomed over-communication around five years ago. Outsourcing is creating more problems than it is solving financially. Middle management is doing their best to hang-on while it seems like upper/senior management has no clue. Project management is a mess with too many projects going all at once and all suffering as a result. Even with tough times in the industry, the company should be managing their employees much better. Morale is causing much productivity loss, worsening a bad financial situation due to the economy. Business strategy seems to shift every year and the company seems directionless as a result.

Pros

Good benefits. Raises are not worth it if you even get one

Cons

If you don’t get on your leaders good side or don’t seem to “fit” in they will literally be against you. Company is all about growing you which is the biggest joke around. They will keep you on your team if you are good to not loose you. Not much growth at all. Very condescending on their core values.
