Pros

You have a job. That's the only pro.

Cons

There is NO POSSIBLE WAY to get a salary raise. They will constantly tell you to get more license to bump up our take home percentage. You start at 9% when you reach a masters license ( which entails you can start your own buisness) you finally get 20% take home value. That's about 9 licenses you have to take time out of your day to go take in downtown st.paul along with running your overloaded route. They will overwork you and under pay you, then gaslight you about how you're NOT underpaid. They value their property and profits over your life. They will make you go out in white out blizzards and all incliment weather. You as an employee here, are merely another body to throw at the pile. The CEO is fake and will make you feel like he cares, but all he cares about is money and taking out of country vacations. Their money is worth more than your life, family, and outside work life. Your outside work life driving record affects your Christmas bonus and employment. Driver score is more important than techs that do a good job. Doesn't pay enough. Will lie to you at the interview. Management will lie to your face and through a grin to get their way The office personnel uinionised and the CEO has found ways to snake around it with his legal team

Thanks for your positive feedback! We agree that Jim is a great asset to the team, he is great at what he does and teaching other as well. We do understand that employees have lives outside of work, and we always try to work with you if you have needs that arise. I am glad we can get you to your son on time.
