Pros

The environment is simply is what you make it. Truckers are rewarding customer for life not just employment. After a year at one location you will start to make a positive change.

Cons

Benefits are very expensive. Wages are worse. Simply except improvement with no guidance on excepted outcome. Train is a joke. If you can not figure it out on your own then your fired. Out of store management are very disconnected. If your store is doing well they simply don't do anything. If your store is in a hard area or struggling for any reason you are in for a very hard ride. Constant threatening of your job to force improvement. Major Financial problems leading their future.

Pros

Pay is decent for Knoxville Benefits are good Coworkers are the only thing holding this place together

Cons

The culture has taken a nosedive. The new CFO sets the tone, and that tone is basically “I don’t care.” That attitude trickles down through leadership and it shows in every decision being made. The return‑to‑office mandate is a perfect example. It’s not about productivity — it’s about control. People with long commutes are burning hours of their lives just to sit in the office on Zoom calls they used to take from home. Morale is the lowest it has ever been. Entire teams have been gutted because people are quitting faster than they can be replaced. The workload dumped on whoever stays is unsustainable. Communication from leadership is cold, dismissive, and out of touch. Feedback goes nowhere. Concerns are brushed off. Decisions are made with zero regard for how they impact employees. Constant reorganizations create chaos. Roles change overnight, expectations shift constantly, and employees are expected to absorb more and more with no support. The company used to feel people‑focused. Now it feels like a machine that’s grinding down the very people who keep it running.
