Pros

There weren't many. The pay wasn't even good - if you broke it down to the hour, it was just depressing. There are quarterly bonuses, but they don't do much to remedy this. The other route managers were great and helpful but they were often stretched thin. Most of the drivers were hard workers and good guys.

Cons

At least a dozen hours a week wasted in meetings that could each be summed up in a good 3 minute email. Upper management gives orders but no clear directions or schedules. The equipment is outdated and unsafe and the drivers are miserable. Absolutely no work/life balance - you will be working at least 12 hours a day, at least 5 days a week. The amount of vacation is a joke, and the insurance is expensive for a national company. I was offered a better job with almost half the hours, if that tells you anything.
