Pros

Pay is good and benefits are good, my location is a union location. There is so much safety regulations to put up with, it's almost like you can't perform your job duties because all of it gets in the way of being able to do that. Drivers Have very little discretion. Typically takes a months worth of training on the safety aspect before you touch a truck. Good training for people thatre new to hauling equipment. But for us that have been doing it a while and have experienced almost all of it, it doesn't help and just gets In the way. The whole safety approach is so redundant, the idea of employees doing proactive events just creates a culture to snitch on anyone and everyone, which tears down the team atmosphere they strive for.

Cons

Safety is extremely redundant Drivers have no discretion Proactive events lead to a snitch environment

Pros

The local teams doing the work in the branches are the only team members that make it a positive experience.

Cons

Senior field leadership and it's byzantine hierarchy is filled with matrixed leadership jobs for people who have been good soldiers with long tenure. They don't know anything about the actual work at the branch level or in the markets. Often they spend thousands at meetings in hotels and at bars in the evening which is extremely unprofessional. These same individuals press their political advantage to make sure the people they don't like get dismissed or marginalized and often move people into leadership to virtue signal DEI values. C-suite has been lost since 2021. Budget forecasting, fleet planning, and execution has been weak and lacks strong leadership position. Geographic territories don't make any sense and regions are oddly divided up based on tenure loyalties and not the needs of the business. Senior leadership can be counted on to work Tuesday - Thursday but have no problem asking front line employees to diminish their salary with 60 hour weeks, and pointless Saturday shifts.
