Pros

Good co-workers, understanding managers and a solid team environment. Very helpful co workers and managers jumped at the oppotunity to show a new employee the ropes or answer questions. good pay. Do your job, try not to screw up and dont be a hero and youll skate along just fine while collecting a nice paycheck.

Cons

First week was 'trial by fire'. recevied little structured training and mostky shadowed veteran "sales reps" on the desk. Outdated and glitchy computer systems made for a difficult and frustrating first week. managers were very reluctant to give overtime and if you were close to hitting 40hrs you would be sent home early. Doing the work of 3 people at times all in the name of efficiency of the company. "Book book book" means scheduling a truck even if we dont have it and hoping the paying customer is satisfied with an other than reserved truck for a discount or slightly larger size.

Pros

Dedicated to ensuring your individual growth within the company

Cons

Each branch is ran differently meaning management may excel at one location, giving you more exposure for growth. While other locations it is more difficult to work out of and earn promotions.
