Pros

Excellent 401k program and can not beat the health insurance which has access to Mayo Clinic. Vacation is standard, 2 weeks and goes to 3 after 5 years of service. You also have 3 personal day and one floating holiday to use as you see fit. Also, recently added 2 sick days, but you have to lose them or will not be paid at the end of the year. Has good break rooms with coffee and hot chocolate. Cafeteria on sight, but the food is sandwiches and chips. Don't have to travel for lunch. Saves time and most people don't mind if you eat at your desk.

Cons

Inability to terminate people who do not complete there job. Tend to look around them and wait for someone else to pick up the slack. You can post for supervisor jobs within the company. However, most managers already have someone in mind and the interview process is a joke. Also, you have an annual review. Difference managers have different concepts on how this should be completed. You can have a 2.5 in your department, but may appear extremely low when you attempt to transfer to another department. No manager seems to be on the same page. It will hurt your chance for a promotion.

Advice to Senior Management

You are only as good as your staff. Replace the people who do not work. Also, if a supervisor position is being decided. Have a vice president also interview the candidate. It is not what you know at Landstar, but who you know. If you work hard, don't gossip, and rarely socialize with your coworkers outside of work. You will never advance.
