Pros
Paid weekly - this keeps the majority of us showing up but the physical environment needs to change. Union organized (necessary) There are a lot of hard working employees that want the company to continue to succeed
Cons
Service Centers are out of control by abusive supervisor, management, and upper management teams. They talk about leading with their head, heart and guts because it is the corporate view but no one enforces it at the station levels. It’s a revolving door - supervisors, drivers, and part time workers- the most talented move on and the abuse continues. Gas cards don’t work, no reimbursement when you use your own money to return to station, they constantly call your private cell phone to give directives because they don’t have enough scanners, they write you up if you don’t answer calls from them while you’re driving- knowing it’s illegal to use cell phones while driving in Illinois. They tell you not to speed or back up but hurry up to make pick ups they call you that need to be made within 25 minutes or you’ll get a warning letter. I was 2 minutes late due to traffic and I received a written warning. This is not a professional environment and this is why unions are necessary to protect employees and in this case even the global company.
