Pros
Good wage and benefits that is all.
Cons
Better have thick skin and patience for this company. Management make team feel un appreciated and don't let you make decisions. Can you say micro management. The old boys club is running this company from spectra good luck .
Advice to Management
Need to remove some of the managers from this company (bullys). People perform better when the environment treats them like human beings.

Pros
Corporate in Calgary are bringing infrastructure up to 2015 standards. Corporate had many professional people to assist operations in the field
Cons
Poor leadership at the Schaefferstown, PA District Office. Lazy management that is more interested in hiring friends than hiring qualified people. District Office provided no support to Terminal Operations in the field. More interested in relocating friends from California than hiring, leading, and developing qualified people locally. More important to hire friends with the same religious beliefs.
Advice to Management
Replace the leadership at your District Office. I know its difficult to replace someone who manages 10/12 facilities. Management is selfish, petty, and vindictive.

Pros
Great co-workers is all I can say ( truckers )
Cons
Long hours, left alone with no dispatch, no waiting time, rules change to suit the company not the workers.
Advice to Management
When you plan to restructure, want new ideas, fresh ideas.... start with yourself. When the workers tell you that a management needs to be change in a specific area.... maybe look into it! And you fired the wrong guys!

Pros
Sr. Executive have recently been more transparent with long-term company strategy. Last town hall meeting was informative and inspiring.
Cons
Things happen fast within the company and are sometimes not thought out fully. However, this quick pace is one of the core values of the company as they pride themselves on being entrepenurial. Some leaders within the company are not leaders and need improvement in their leader skillset.
Advice to Management
Keep sharing information with employees, show the employees they are important assets.

Pros
Great pay, benefits and field level camaraderie.
Cons
Top heavy, word hard and you will be punished, don’t expect to have your ideas taken seriously, blind leading the blind on new systems.
Advice to Management
Use Q-Tips, be open to new ideas, leadership and message delivery training required, try to retain talent. Ross sucks.
