      I worked at Saia LTL Freight full-time

      Pros

      Solid pay, benefits and room for growth

      Cons

      The company has an "I gotcha" culture, every department (safety, dispatching, claims, operations management) will throw anyone under the bus.

      Advice to Management

      Reinforce a teaching culture rather than a culture of reprimands. So much emphasis is placed on production at the loss of actual gainful training and education.
