Pros

Nothing there is nothing positive about work here,I keep seeing people posting that there is "great pay" thats a bunch of crap lol unless great pay to you is starting off at $11.90 an hour.

Cons

The union is sucking the life out of the company and management in turn treats the employees like trash constantly lies to them, writes up employees as much as possible. The terminal manager is a compulsive liar if you get hired do not believe that you start at $14.00 hr you do not you start at $11.90 that is a fact he with lie and do whatever he has to do to avoid telling the truth. lol you cant even ask him the color of the sky without him trying to lie about it.

Pros

My co-workers are amazing. The people that I work with on a day to day basis are absolutely wonderful to be around. The culture that I find at YRCW is great. There are so many resourceful people and they are willing to help. We have a collaborative environment and use the Agile methodology. YRCW as a company isngooe to work for. They seem to be interested in what we as employees think and they actively work on the feedback we give. Pay is decent, could be better of course. Benefits are better than I have had at other places

Cons

The PMO team needs structure. They don't understand what we as application developers do. Some don't care to learn the technical side of things and I feel that's very important.
