Pros
The top you, so so good
Cons
Super long hours low pay
1 - 1.0Dec 2, 2023Customer Service RepresentativeCurrent Employee, more than 1 yearGreen Bay, WI
Pros
Good benefits. Raises are not worth it if you even get one
Cons
If you don’t get on your leaders good side or don’t seem to “fit” in they will literally be against you. Company is all about growing you which is the biggest joke around. They will keep you on your team if you are good to not loose you. Not much growth at all. Very condescending on their core values.
- 3.0Nov 29, 2023Process Analyst IIFormer EmployeeGreen Bay, WI
Pros
Large enough that there is plenty of opportunity for movement to expand your job experiences & skills. They do support this, as well.
Cons
Pay is under industry/role/location standards (whichever metric you look at) - Not division or role specific / across the company. NOT remote-friendly

- 2.0Nov 24, 2023InternshipFormer Employee, less than 1 yearGreen Bay, WI
Pros
Comfortable, average pay and average benefits.
Cons
The hiring process is atrocious. Treatment is never equal with interviewees. If you aren't their cup of tea just don't try.
- 3.0Nov 25, 2023Class A Cdl Truck DriverCurrent Employee, more than 1 yearSalt Lake City, UT
Pros
They'll train once you got your cdl, and they'll give anyone a chance.
Cons
Too many cooks spoil the food. They can micromanage a driver in a truck 2,000 miles away.
- 3.0Jul 15, 2023Local Intermodal DriverCurrent Employee, more than 1 yearDallas, TX
Pros
they don’t micromanage. Training and saftey is outstanding if you can abide and follow, common sense preceded (speaking for intermodal) Will let you work all the OT you need. Very very very flexible. Meets your needs when it comes to needing time off. Bosses/ dispatchers are cool all the time of the time. Will go above and beyond to accommodate your needs….. to the new driver this in my opinion is the absolute best place to start your career in driving.
Cons
Pay. They care more about the shareholders then the employees. Pay cut after pay cut. They butter your biscuit to make things seem good while continuously doing the opposite by passing the buck. As a regional driver, I have gotten more local loads… as a local driver I got A LOT of liveload/ unloads that make it impossible to get a good amount of loads for the day unless you work your 14 hr clock… same for regional with miles…. Best advice to new drivers, when you get your experience if you find a diamond in the rough for a job don’t hesitate to take it and never look back. This start was always just for the experience don’t forget that. If you leave the correct way and don’t like it you will always be welcomed back.
Schneider Response5moThank you for your review and honest feedback. We are glad you enjoyed our fantastic training and flexibility we offer! We work hard on a weekly basis to make sure all driver pay is competitive in the marketplace. Drive safe!
- 2.0Sep 17, 2023OTR Class A Truck DriverCurrent Employee, less than 1 yearCharlotte, NC
Pros
They always have loads. New trucks. The right attitude towards safety.
Cons
Most trailers are in terrible condition and always have a defect and issue. Low payment for miles. Constant pressure on the driver. Some instructors are not friendly and arrogant. The managers don’t care about the driver, you are a means for them to achieve their own goals, there is no sense of team. Bureaucratic structure of the company. Working with them in constant stress.
Schneider Response2moThanks for the review! Our driver leaders and all associates work for our drivers. You are the backbone of this company and we appreciate all of our driver's hard work. We know trucking can be tough and that's why we have a huge initiative to make the driver experience even better at Schneider.
- 3.0Jul 28, 2023OTR Truck Driver - Dry Van NationalFormer Employee, less than 1 yearPortland, OR
Pros
Schneider is a decent enough company, to help you get your foot through the door and get some industry experience. The health benefits were good. The company is very safety-focused. Nobody ever pressured me to drive dangerously, like into weather I wasn't comfortable handling. They want you to follow the rules, stay out of trouble, and above all - communicate.
Cons
I hated the first truck they gave me - it broke down every two weeks. Lots of old, messed-up trailers, like nobody ever pre-trips b/c there's no financial incentive for the drivers to deal with mechanical problems or bad tires. You'll be working for a giant rookie-hiring corporation, so don't expect good pay or good loads. I applied for an OTR lower 48 position, but that was a lie - all of their OTR dry van solo driver jobs are just regional. I wanted to see the rest of the country, but mostly I just got to see the I-10 between Phoenix and Sacramento.
Schneider Response5moWe appreciate your review! Schneider is happy to help people start their truck driving careers and then provide continuous training so it's a safe, successful and long one too. Drive safe.

Pros
Position itself was relatively easy (flatbed).
Cons
Upper management and dispatcher weren't good at their jobs Account that I worked on had poor organizational skills for loads
Schneider Response3wThank you for your feedback and review. We review pay weekly to make sure it's competitive in the marketplace. We have an open door policy and always want to hear from our drivers. Take care.
