GREAT Company with Poor Management

Management

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The company pays management well compared to other transportation industries, although that's probably due to the wages the union drivers earn. Time off usually isn't an issue and most employees at the front line get along well.

Cons

The company is controlled by industrial engineers that can't function at the front line or manage people. Generally when the engineers are placed in operations they fail miserably, yet these people control how the business is run. Also, promotions are curious. It seems unclear how some higher ups got to that level.

Hard work, but greatest pay and benefits in the industry after enough seniority is gained.

Pros

Best pay and benifits in the industry, period!

Cons

Takes a long time to gain enough seniority to get this job. Management is very anti personnel. They do not get the same benefits or pay and are on salary.
