Pros

Great pay and benefits. Salary slightly less than I was making but Rush had better benefits.

Cons

Terrible company. I left a great paying government job to take an opportunity with Rush. After 35 days I was let go. Why? Realignment they said. Truth? They had a female employee that several of the General Managers didn't care for. They wanted to get rid of her so they eliminated two positions. Hers and mine. I thought I could make it there based on merit but this company is deeply good-old-boy armed with slick legal finesse. You might be there for 20 years--if you are in the club. Or, you could be gone at a whim. Incompetent at surprisingly high levels but hey...they do make money and are profitable with good benefits. Lack of safety and health is a big deal. All the shops I saw (6) looked like junk yard fabrication shops not something you'd expect from a Fortune 500 company. Oil and hydraulic fluids spilled with no regard. They work on trucks...proper jacking and rigging? Nope, they would use a few unidentified chains and maybe a few chunks of wood to lift and support. I'd be surprised if they don't have a fatality in the next year.
