Pros

Although it varies by manager and team, YRC generally has a good work/life balance and the day to day workload and stress level is reasonable. The Overland Park location has a really nice lunch area with a full cafeteria. They also have an onsite fitness center for employees who want to use it.

Cons

In the last 10 years YRC has only given out raises/merit increases twice, and then it was only a 2% across the board increase, no matter how good of a job or how highly you've been rated by your manager. Despite this, the company has been spending obscene amounts of money on projects of questionable value such as building a replica of a truck dock complete with heavy machinery. Given that they are building this replica right next to the company's mission critical data center, the vibrations from the heavy machinery pose a risk to the data center which could put the company's future in jeopardy.
