Pros

They’re are no pros about this company

Cons

They lied about home time and pay. After quitting their training period, they sent me to collection for $2500. I never received any sign on bonus, or transportation and hotel cost. The only money I received from western express was the flat daily rate they agreed to pay while working. Don’t know where they came up with that I owe them $2500. This company is a Scan
