"Family Owned" in TransWest speak is just another way of saying "siphon the money into George Eidsness's pockets"

Pros

Not really many pros, except Commerce City was a decent location to avoid heavy commutes and the hours weren't too bad

Cons

Some of the worst benefits I've ever seen and overall the cheapest company for which I've had the displeasure of working. The TransLease location in Commerce City wouldn't even spring for coffee and a coffee maker... everywhere I turned was a ridiculous level of frugality and lack of appreciation for staff. The whole organization and its subsidiaries, of which there are many (Trans Lease, Summit Body, Transwest Buick GMC, etc). is really just a vehicle (no pun intended) to put money into the Eidsness family's pockets. The atmosphere can be very Kindergarten or prison-like. The "at-will employment" contracts that you sign to be a part of Trans West are very much in effect - you're always only one mistake away from getting the boot.

Thank you for your input. I can't say I've shared the atmosphere experience that you had during your engagement with Transwest, two years ago. The Eidsness family has been great to work with, each looking to create the best experience for their employees while creating and environment of development and growth for all. You thoughts are valuable, and we appreciate the input. Your considerations will be used as we refine our company culture moving forward.

Pros

I've worked at Transwest for about a year and so far I have really enjoyed the company. - Owner operated and fast growing - Hard work is appreciated and respected, not the type of company where you can hide and collect a paycheck - No problems investing in training, if needed - New corporate headquarters opening in Brighton, CO - Paid referrals for friends/family - Insurance, vacation, etc...

Cons

- Owner operated (pro and a con) - Company is growing faster than the structure and policies - No insurance for first 90 day (probationary period) - Corporate culture could be stronger, there are a fair chunk of whiny babies but they usually weed themselves out

Pros

None, there isn't much good to say.

Cons

They lie. Make sure that you check your paperwork carefully before signing anything.

Thank you for your input, I'm glad to say a number of things have changed and improved over the last three years, but each experience is valuable in understanding employee perspective to create the best culture for all.
