Pros
Crazy backround music that repeats every 2 hours every day
Cons
Little training, long hours and expected to work nights and weekends if quotas are not met. The smallest cubicles, with no provision for noise control, along with the highest density of workers per square foot ever experienced
Advice to Management
Need to take training and career development seriously, and reduce the ridiculous turnover rate in the recruiting department

Pros
My boss and team are great and understanding of family time as well as individual contributions above normal expected norms and acknowledge it. If you join a good team you can tolerate much of the rest.
Cons
Overall company doesn't care about your well-being or retention if you are not a driver. Yes, our drivers are hugely important to the business, but the office staff are treated like cattle with little thought given to you. People with little skill set are hired on in higher level positions to "shake things up" with no knowledge of transportation will try and reorganize everything into a solid mess.
Advice to Management
Give thought to those working in the offices and terminals behind the scenes. Transportation is 24/7, and many of us work as much as possible to match this. Acknowledge this and understand the amount of work that even the teams behind the scenes do. Make benefits and HR more accessible for all employees.
