Pros

Heavy exposure to different lines of business Little over-sight and low expectations Wouldn't be bad as a first-time job, straight out of college (just retain legal representation for their HR practices)

Cons

- Lack of management support. Some high level execs openly refuse to communicate or participate in any sort of audit procedure (Major red flag). - HR presses with highly inappropriate questioning, harasses, and victimizes employees to the point of legally liability. I highly encourage anyone that's had direct contact to pursue their full legal options. - Team is especially toxic - frat house environment. Newer employees spread rumors about skilled employees rather then self-reflecting and working to improve their own positioning. This is why only one employee remains in the department with over one year of experience at the company. It's more about social function then ability or experience. - Compensation is exceptionally poor. You are likely to receive competing offers for 20k+ higher compensation at any local company. - Antiquated job beliefs by dept management - They will make up excuses to devalue your professional experience. IE - "That prior work experience doesn't count because it was pregraduation" or "That company wasn't public so doesn't count" silliness.

Pros

Lenient with home time and vacations. They worked with me when it came to my personal appointments. I loved my office team.

Cons

Like any work place, there's always some kind of BS to deal with. I just tried to ignore it.

Pros

Training and the trainers at salt lake terminal was great. If you are lazy and dont want to work that often its great! You will have plenty of free time to yourself waiting on loads. Not paid of course.

Cons

Maintenance when needed is terrible. They never have the parts or they make you wait days just to get in. safety department is a complete joke. They know everything from watching a video and have no driving experience. Good luck on having a good driving score. If you have a low score then take home time, it goes through the roof! This makes you unable to obtain any of the bonuses until you drive long enough for your safety score to come down. Oh, and i complained that i was basically being punished for going home and they did not care at all. Pay is a joke. Your lucky if you take home $1,200 after everything is said and done. Don't take my word for it, ask a swift driver.
