Pros

The training manager was very professional and polite.

Cons

BAIT and SWITCH - Recruiters were telling people with CDL that we would get $30.34 hr as long as we had our CDL over 6 years. On first day they told a group of us that we did not qualify for that pay and we were misinformed. Our pay would drop to $23.07 an hour. Some of us in that group quit jobs that paid more than current offer seeking the $30.34 hr and others came from very far away seeking that promised amount. Another concern is they do not allow Apple Watch even if used as a medical device. I use mine to monitor heart as I had recent surgery. They also lied about the sign on bonus, on first day they outline how to get it with all kinds of very tedious rules including not being even 1 min late. Very military style environment

Pros

I found that the support from corporate was great. They were present and responsive when there were questions or issues. The team on the ground was the best!

Cons

Vacation and health benefits could be more generous.

Pros

I enjoyed my coworkers. I also enjoyed learning about the software and the position. I learned a lot there!

Cons

When I came in, it was because they needed someone ASAP who was capable of adapting quickly, and I did (which surprised even me since it's chaotic over there). They appraised me for my performance so much because the candidate who came before me stayed less than a week. The position was challenging, but I was not afraid and preferred it that way!! I thought I had the job because there was no indication otherwise. I had another offer, and before rejecting that offer, I double-checked my performance, and everything was good!!! Guess what, they were just buying time for the candidate they selected within, I thought it was because of my performance, but they asked me to train that person so, it was not performance-based but corporate games.
