Dot Foods Reviews

Pros

Plenty of work, they keep you busy most of the time. Pay is better than most. They treat you with respect. Easy to make friends with other employees. Pretty nice, newer trucks with autoshift transmissions. Awesome company parties!!

Cons

The company is ran and operated by people...and people have their faults. My biggest complaint would be that it seems that the sqeaky wheel gets the grease.

Advice to Senior Management

Reward employees for a job well done with more miles, better paying loads, holidays at home, etc instead of giving those things to the ones that complain all the time.

Pros

Good benefits for the work

Cons

the shifts are ten or twelve hours

Pros

Good office interaction. Plenty of time for lunch, breaks. Work isn't too hard and the pay is fair for a part-time job.

Cons

Some management issues, not clear on who is in charge of what. Things do not always get done as fast as they should.

Advice to Senior Management

Move people up based on who would do the best. Training is important, but balance what the training can do, with what the company pays for it.

Advice to Senior Management

Listen to your drivers when they have suggestions!

Pros

They have great benefits, they are family Owned, and they offer good pay for the area they are in. When I worked there, I felt respected! They also offer a lot of very very good training opportunities, everything from self improvement to time management. They even had a women's conference that they did their best to get every woman to attend.

Cons

You can't be in *any* management position without a college degree. If you have a college degree in underwater-basketweaving, you can be a manager, but someone without a degree that has worked in that department for 20 years cannot.

If you work at the headquarters, it's a small town. So unless you happen to live in that small town, there is a commute. This is ok on most days, but in the winter it can be horrid.

Advice to Senior Management

Thank you--I enjoyed working there.
