Pros

My co workers were great people, and the atmosphere was like a family. I did enjoy what freedom I was allowed to have with in the office.

Cons

I was hired on as a receptionist and when they fired their old dispatcher/ office manager the dispatch postion was just put on my shoulders with out any additional compenation. I also had no training on my newfound postion and still I excelled with not even a "Good Job!", increasing productivity of the driver by 30%. I would not advise anyone to try to enter into the company and work your way as it would never happen. The lower paying people are treated like crap and always expected to do more then any one person could handle and even if by some miracle you have made their crazy deadlines never are you met with praise only criticisim.

Pros

Once upon a time, I enjoyed it.

Cons

New CEO took over. He’s pretty out of touch. My former colleagues call me and ask me return on a weekly basis still because it’s going poorly for them. They constantly make business decisions that counter organic growth. Probably because the motivator is not organic growth. Sales are treated like call center employees and there’s a ton of hate from the WS/ MM merger that wasn’t dealt with. It is definitely an ivory tower. You’re inside of it or you are not. If you’re liked, you can do whatever you want. As long as it looks like you’re committed to the group. This means that you can’t share a dissenting opinion though. Two of the worst three managers I have ever seen were there. They target individuals who don’t go be them the metrics they want in safety or performance. HR’s goal is to protect the company. Share nothing with them, ever.
