Pros

Only good I can say is that, if you need the experience go for it but leave after you get it.

Cons

Pay is waaay to low for the hard and extreme labor we do. Never loaded correctly or on time 95% of the time the other 5% is when the my get it somewhat right. They load your trailer with steel then bury all your deliveries out of order, then get an attitude when you have them correct it, and if they do correct it it's going to take 3 hours for them to fix. Management has their favorites, won't ask them to do nothing extra but will call on certain individuals to do the extra work, and will allow the other guys to leave. Monitors certain people barely allows us to take breaks. Make you do other driver jobs and fix their mistakes instead of having the drive that made the mistakes go and correct them. Not a bridge worth saving or going back across.

Pros

Great hours, I have an awesome OS and OM. I was salary exempt so if I worked over 40 hours I was paid hourly after that. I was also paid weekly which was extremely nice.

Cons

No relocation assistance for in-state promotions.

Pros

You get to work on real supply chain problems that actually matter to operations, not just theoretical stuff. Remote flexibility is solid and the work-life balance is fair. The tech stack is modern (Snowflake, Azure, Power BI) and if you're someone who takes initiative, you'll get the chance to own things end-to-end. The people you work with day-to-day are genuinely good and most teams have a collaborative culture.

Cons

Growth from senior level and beyond can be painfully slow even when you're clearly doing the work above your role. Leadership and org changes happen often which resets your visibility and momentum with whoever is advocating for you. Some areas still lack clear ownership so things fall through the cracks or land on whoever is willing to pick them up. Pay doesn't always reflect the scope of what you're actually doing.
