Pros

Good benefits, good pay OTR, they are good company, The managers always help you.

Cons

They are good company, If you do your job well, no one will bother you, the pay should be better, that's the only thing I think is against it, but it's a better salary than in other places.

Pros

Ease of job. Steady work flow.

Cons

Systems are not user friendly and updates are several times a month so it's hard to keep up with changes. Management and IT both are not friendly- just want the job done without errors, which is impossible without communication about constant software and system changes.
