"The Best of the Worst"

Ramp agent

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay and good benefits.

Cons

Management is the downside, they are the "best of the worst". They treat their employees with complete disregard and disrespect. You are not allowed to voice your concerns for fear of retalliation. Morale seems to be on an all time low due to the fact that we lost so many experienced employees and are now in the process of training new people so the trained and experience people are the ones having to pick up the slack. They continue to cut hours unless they need you on a day they are short then they will let you come in for extra hours but at the end of your work week they make you go home early so you don't go over your hours.

Pros

There isn't much. It's a paycheck. You get paid weekly so enjoy that, but watch your timecards and your total hours as it has been known that management has changed your hours.

Cons

You almost have to save the world in order to get any sort of recognition. Management has no real direction and offer zero support, but plenty of criticism. Apparentley, 10 years of working with no problems and glowing recommendation from previous management and plenty of customers mean nothing to current management who are more than happy to send out the dogs a little too early. S-M-A-R-T... That would be a negative. I would stay clear from this wonderful company.

If you are going to be in Transportation, you might as well sell for FedEx.

Pros

Good repuation in marketplace. Top of the heap as far as transportation companies are concerned. Stability. Excellent marketing machine. So many tools and resources it's almost overwhelming. An 800 support number strictly for sales (It's not perfect but it does help to have a dedicated line to call when you are in a pinch). Good customer service. Also, operationally the service IS very good. Depends on your boss, but overall there is job flexibility and personally I feel like I am treated with respect - like an adult.

Cons

Like many companies, it pays to be connected. There are many "lifers" here. Senority and relationships do play a role in who gets opportunities/promotions. Which is fine and the way things work but they make great efforts to put on the appearance of being "neutral". Benefits are not as good as you would expect from a Fortune 500 co. either.
