UniGroup Reviews

Cons

Nothing that i have seen in my 1 year

Cons

Can be stressful at times that’s with any job

Cons

The new CIO hired contractors that worked systematically on destroying self-organized teams. These contractors acted like their existence dependent on how many "issues" they can report and how many people they can fire. They where not interested in connecting with the teams or solving real issues. The people managers contributed with passivity. It did not matter how long you worked there or what you produced; if you made it onto their list they disposed you.
The CIO help creating a cult, asks for a dialog and new ideas but understandably only few speak out.

Cons

You get the impression form lesser paid employees that they are not valued as much. Some people are chained to their desks unless "allowed to leave." Which is concerning. While my experience hasn't been that way, I'm afraid of ever leaving my department (thereby foregoing any opportunity for growth) to end up with one of the dictator-like managers you hear about. IT is valued more than any other department and it's plain as day. They have new furniture and a nice environment. The rest of the buildings look like they haven't been cleaned since the 80's let alone remodeled.

Cons

Not many opportunities for IT to advance.
UniGroup is dealing with other companies taking a part of the their market share.
Driver shortage - Affects their ability to increase business. They are working hard to figure that out.

Cons

Don't expect to rise to the top of the ladder. Usually, they hire outsiders to be managers, instead of employees who've been there for 15 years.
Long hours in front of a computer
Not enough room for advancement
HR takes long time to make contract employees full-time
Company seems to be slowly dying. Young people are using U-Haul or other, cheaper services, not a company that charges $10,000 for a move.

Cons

FAVORITISM and a weird work culture.

Cons

As expected with the Transportation Industry, it is top heavy with male managers; defers to younger workers, salaries are not commensurate with position responsibility.

Cons

The cafeteria is hit or miss and the food prices are getting a bit high. Front line employees are underpaid, but that doesn't mean there isn't room for growth.

Cons

The people in charge don't know anything about IT and constantly demand it change directions. Usually spending millions to go one direction only for the next board or manager to contradict and go the opposite. In the end they get no where and have a hodgepodge of legacy programs that don't work well together and have spent more on half started projects then if they would have done one good one to completion from the beginning.
