Pros

Great Pay, top of the line health benefits, (Dental, Vision, & Health), and great flexibility at what you want to specifically want to do. Although it’s based on seniority, you can go to any place throughout the Roadway department in any state, as long as you have seniority. It really pays off in the long run. 4 day work week.

Cons

Traveling. It’s not for the weak, or people who are really close to family. The company will strike down on you if you do something wrong, but I believe it’s from the fear of lawsuits. Also everything changes on the fly, you never know when a schedule will change or if you’ll be leaving to go home on thursdays on time.

Pros

Fair minded and supportive management. Not directly involved in RR management, so did not have the same hours or demands as many do.

Cons

None really--large publicly held company. Working on a contract basis, so can't speak to benefits.

Pros

Simple business model which is dependent on customer service.

Cons

Board is run by an Activist Investor. Company officers for the past 10 year have been bleeding off company assets and reducing operational capabilities in exchange for short term valuations. Many of these senior leaders were brought in with documented history of sexual misconduct and questionable corporate ethics. Their only qualification they need is that they were former managers under the Hunter Harrison regime at Canadian National.
