Pros

If management is your goal there is an OVER-abundance of middle management positions and front line supervisor positions to get your foot in the door for some experience. Many of the facilities are quite happy places to be employed. The high turnover of managers does tend to leave opportunities for promotion rather often.

Cons

Extremely high turnover of managers at every level. Not for the long term career minded individual. Horrible communication between upper management and the front line employees. Absolutely everything is treated like a corporate secret until it's too late to effectively use the information in a positive fashion. Since merging Roadway and Yellow every individual facility is essentially going through a "turf war" ridding itself of what they consider the "new guys".

Pros

Currently because of the financial difficulties not many, as a driver I am working for the most money I can make that's about it

Cons

every week there is a financial milestone the company has to hurdle to avoid bankruptcy, are CEO Zollars is really ineffective he was a genius when the market was going up at a 20% pace he was on CNBC every week, funny we never advanced more than 10%. We have given back 15% pay 15 % in hours. you don't have to worry about getting a Job here 50 % of all staff is laid off. I'm staying for the unemployment benefits and the reduced COBRA
