Pros

Choptank is the ONLY employer on the Eastern Shore that I have found in several years of searching that provides a chance to earn a livable wage at an entry level position. Where most employers want to pay minimal wages while also requiring 2 years minimum experience, a college degree, or both, Choptank pays a fair starting salary, provides an extensive 1-month classroom training, plus several months closely working with managers to give you the best opportunity to succeed. Not only that, but there are MANY opportunities to advance your career and pay within the company. They require hard work, but they are also very honest and upfront about their expectations at all levels of the hiring and training process. They invest money in things that they need (not wasteful) and they promote people that are deserving. I was very impressed that at the outbreak of COVID-19, the President of the company created a company program for all employees to get reimbursed for take-out from local restaurants as a means of supporting the local owners who were severely impacted by the pandemic. That's they type of leadership you don't mind working hard for.

Cons

By nature of the transportation industry, you have to accept that occasionally you are working during "off-hours." Trucks are running 24/7.

You made our day! We love hearing good stuff from our team! It’s great to hear that you are happy with your comp plan but since you are a sales rep, the best is yet to come. As you develop professionally and add to your business your incentive compensation goes up too. Take advantage of our training opportunities and use what you learn, and you will be successful and EARN your next promotion. Keep having discussions with your manager about what roles you are interested in and we will work to prepare you for them. You are right that we deal with the demands of being in a 24/7 industry. Be sure to keep good notes in the system so our Off Hours Team can take care of as many things as possible without having to call you. The Eat Local advance reimbursement was fun. I hope you enjoyed some tasty take-out from your favorite local restaurant. It is so important to support them right now. We will come through this together and stronger!

Cons

rampant unhealthy behaviors, instead of letting you grow, they throw work from other people and departments on you, if you get pregnant, they drive you to suicidal ideation
