Pros

The pay and working conditions are excellent for drivers. The actual working environment is pleasant with the equipment being comfortable and well maintained for the most part. We have assigned trucks and runs are bid by seniority. There is no weekend work unless one volunteers and you are home every day.

Cons

There are many small rules that have very little to do with the actual job which are randomly enforced. They frequently announce changes an then decide not to implement them at the last moment. Rumors are constant. All of this creates an atmosphere of uncertainty and uneasiness with a very negative impact on morale. Local management has little power to make decisions and must refer most questions to corporate headquarters. Replies are often not prompt and sometimes don't come at all, leaving the employee in limbo. The impression is that the company is being run by a bunch of petty tyrants who don't talk to each other.

Pros

- Insurance benefits are offered to part time employees - Pay is sufficient based on being part time - Management will send some communications regarding big picture matters - There is some leniency regarding calling out of work

Cons

- The requirement to maintain insurance is becoming more difficult - Employees are not paid the same rate simply based on tenor rather than qualifications - Management will rarely, if ever, address direct employee concerns - Leniency for calling out only seems to apply for certain employees - There is no standard of training or written expectations readily available once hired
