Panther Expedited Services Reviews

Pros

Good benifits including health insurance , life , 401k. Many oportunities for advancment in the ohio headquarters . Not so much in the satelite offices.

Cons

They start their employees out at a low salary , usually as a driver manager then within a few months up to CSR .

Advice to Senior Management

Need to invrease the starting pay to attract good talent. Also poor perfoming employees are not pushed to do better .

Pros

All-in-all, working at Panther was quite enjoyable. Most of the people you work with were a lot of fun and also professional. The pay was also pretty good. The benefits were excellent too. At a time when many companies were dropping personal insurances, Panther managed to keep paying all the benefits AND still matching the 401K!

Cons

I believe they were very lacking when it came to fair treatment of employees. They seemed to fail in the aspect of their own "Progressive Disciplinary" policy. Sometimes a first offense was treated with suspension and other times just let fall to the wayside. They seemed to have a Bi-Annual "Filtering" of employees. What I mean by that is, it seemed that twice a year they would do "Lay Offs" but didn't do it by seniority, they seemed to do it more by "If I don't like you, I will input reasons to lay you off." So, if you aren't management's "Pet", you were getting the axe!

Advice to Senior Management

Get a grasp on your "Progressive Disciplinary" Policy before it lands you in court for discrimination! Learn to treat all employees fairly. Your HR Department should be keeping a closer eye on the way "punishment" is delved out by the Supervisors/Managers. The HR Department should pay attention to the infraction and if it had been documented before and see if the Supervisor/Manager is adhering to the "Progressive Disciplinary" Policy and not just suspending somebody because they're having a bad day.
