Pros

Paid every week. Very easy job to do, occasionally. Job security - a hard job to lose Company match 401(k) - I guess they can match pretty well since the salary is trash to begin with. Plenty of hours if you have no life of any kind outside of work.

Cons

The pay is awful compared to other trucking jobs. Without any seniority they will mess your schedule up to where you will work 1st, 2nd, and 3rd shift all in the same week-- which is unhealthy and dangerous. Management will ask you to bend the rules for their benefit but will turn around and throw the book at you for any misstep. Benefits are nowhere near what the company plays them up to be. Management is a joke - big surprise. Management will pander to the 6-digit employee numbers who sit in their truck sleeping all day while they dump their entire route on the new drivers who make way less money. Raises are a joke. They advertise a 10-step progression pay increase that takes 20+ years to top out. Equipment is run down, trucks with over a million miles on them yet the company continues to brag about growth, profits, and stock prices. Management will manipulate your hours so they can pay you as much straight time as possible without OT. You will never get a daytime route for a minimum of 20 years so don't ever think you'll get one in a reasonable amount of time. Unless you own a route you're a butt in a seat, nothing more.

Pros

Great flexibility with scheduling, which makes it incredibly easy to balance with school or other external commitments. The team environment is supportive, and the management generally respects your availability

Cons

The physical workload can be quite demanding and tiring, especially during peak seasons. Depending on the shift, communication across different teams can sometimes feel a bit unorganized.

Pros

Easy to apply, fast to get hired (no interview process) and the pay

Cons

Very rude management, lack of care for safety, no drinkable water (all filters are in the red and have been since I started) They have cameras everywhere and are constantly watching you but say you can’t bring your own phone in because “people steal them”? There is junk everywhere. Lots of trash everywhere (employees drinks and food). They want you to work and eat on the line instead of giving you breaks to do so. They get upset when you use the bathroom or fill your water bottle even if you’ve been working for 3 hours straight but if you clock in at an area 2 min walking distance from your work area you’re “stealing time” I’ve noticed people of color get treated differently. The HR department has some of the most prejudice employees so there’s no real equality if you have conflict with someone. I’ve never been, but it feels like a prison to go in and out of the building and lastly you don’t work a consistent schedule. You leave when they say you can.
