Pros

termainal leadership was definitely a PRO

Cons

i was so excited to work for them a couple of years ago. i was told i would regret it but i still held a belief that it would be great. well, it was exactly what everyone told me it would be. they took me in and dropped me like a sack of potatoes when i needed them the most. in oct 2023 (1.5 years in) i was forced to stop driving due to my sons medical issues. they could or would not offer me a remote position so that i could continue working for them. i filed for unemployment and they lied to the state and told them i was working for another company and even had the nerve to say i left the company for another offer even though they approved my FMLA. from this date forward i will post my experience EVERYWHERE possible so that furture driver steer clear from Swift. every time i saw a negative ad or comment about Swift, I stuck up for them but no more. they have shown that their blue and gold/yellow trademark colors rubbed together eqauls RED.
