    Good Company

    May 14, 2023 - Class A Truck Driver in Denver, CO

    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Friendly staff, good base rate of pay, decent benefits, AND newer equipment.

    Cons

    No time-and-a-half. Just straight time. The above "pros" negate this, in my opinion.

    Easy work, but problems

    Jun 2, 2023 - Class A CDL Line Haul Driver in Kennesaw, GA

    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Easy, straight forward work, great pay for linehaul, good location, especially if you live north of Kennesaw, not a lot of opportunities out there especially if you want to be local and not OTR

    Cons

    Poorly run place: management is the biggest issue, they just won't let you do the work without screwing with your day, they also think they are run like a union company but are not union meaning they treat newbies like crap for no reason, and when I mean newbies, I mean people who have a entire year under their belt get treated like crap, tractors are in bad shape and they refuse to get new ones and when they do the muppets that work there will tear them up instantly lol

    Not an IT shop

    Dec 16, 2022 - Senior Software Engineer in Wilmington, OH
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    I loved everyone in the IT staff I worked with, they were all wonderful folks trying to do the best they can in the environment they worked. If you are looking for a good, secure place to work, I think this is the place. They know their market well and feel like a very well-established and secure company.

    Cons

    This is a trucking company, not an IT company. IT is simply a tool to get the trucking done. I have previously worked at a company that threaded their employees like adults and we acted like adults. During covid, when working at home, upper management had all of IT fill out a daily activity sheet. To the best of my knowledge, none of IT management looked at it, it was only for the upper brass. The upper management did not trust the cloud so hosted everything themselves, which, considering the size of the organization, seems to be more of a control issue then anything else. In the end, I left because I felt like IT was treated by upper management like the folks that work in the docks. Maybe the folks on the docks need to be managed that way, good IT professionals don't, another opertunity came knocking so I moved on.
