Pros

Union benefits once you pass a 90 day probationary period, if they don't extend it on you. Plenty of mandatory overtime.

Cons

This is one of the most dysfunctional companies I have ever been employed at. Things are constantly changing, therefore, no one knows the answers to anything so they make things up as they go. Supervisors don't care about you, you're simply a number and they basically own you. The job would not be difficult, however, management and staffing issues (due to all of the uncertainty) make this job extremely stressful and not worth the time. Currently, drivers are working 12-14 hours per day, 6 days per week. There is absolutely no work/life balance. I can count on one hand how many times the trucks are loaded on time ( 2-3 hours of sitting and waiting ) since I started, but you're still expected to complete your route even though you have much less time to complete it in. They will force you to layover on local routes because of this ( I've laid over as close as 15 miles from the warehouse due to running out of hours ). If you value your family and have any sort of social life, look elsewhere. It's not worth it.

Pros

401k is good Benefits got more affordable

Cons

The biggest con is what must these big companies fail to focus on. Money. If to ask, even if you document measurable results ,that i spent a long time composing. You are told that other mechanics get the same or around the same pay. Then say no. Going the extra mile everyday, doesn't get you anything . Yes it's pay. We start a little better than market. But don't go up from there. Yes not right. Not we cannot get any overtime to make up for the lack of raise . It forces good mechanics out . Also they focus way to much on irrelevant things like dei etc .it should be the work you do not what you look like.
