Pros

ok benefits, cookouts, working outdoors, friends with cowarkers, short shifts because they don't know how to schedule people

Cons

Terrible senior leadership. None wants to take responsibility and continue to turn the other way when there are problems with the staff. The drivers come and go all the time and the management in the transportation department belittle you and make you feel like your worthless. Al is one of the most unprofessional and racist managers you'll want to work for. When you report him, nothing happens because they think we employees are telling lies. They aren't the ones in the heat and cold day after day working for a 12 an hour trying to feed their families. No real pay here - they pay you bare minimum while other places start at 15. They tell you they care but when I was interviewed I interviewed with 20 other people and they only picked 2 but they needed 10. The managers laughed at one guy behind his back and called him a queer

Pros

What I loved about this job is getting full ownership over my part of the business, and I know a lot of people stick around because they feel a similar passion and ownership. Even though the company is 25 years old, there are still many areas where a much work is needed and therefore great opportunity for new people to come in and make big impact.

Cons

No flexibility for employees to work from home when needed, and terrible PTO package. The family leadership is not transparent, makes questionable business decisions.
