Pros

Decent pay, 401K match, good amount of vacation and most co-workers are easy to get along with.

Cons

Does not value education and it is difficult to move up. This is the perfect place to work if you want to make a lot of money without going to college. They do promote a lot from with in but it is a lot more about who you know than who is the best for the job. They claim that there isnt really hierarchy, "you should think of it as a jungle gym instead of a ladder". Typical large company that talk about its "values" all the time but doesn't follow them. I have seen driver reviews on here about their DBLs and dispatch. They are absolutely right, I was forced into the position with no ops experience. I had 4 days of training, which consisted of me sitting there watching someone answer the phone. Then, on my 5th day I was given 40 drivers. I consistently said I wasn't comfortable, but no one seemed to care. Even though I now know what I am doing, 40 drivers is way too much for one person. And a lot of people in the office absolutely treat the drivers like crap. I would love to quit but I can't affor to.

Pros

Dedicated local account, driver leaders are nice, equipment is decent.

Cons

$12/hr on duty, not driving pay. That’s ridiculous and includes everything except driving. Work can be inconsistent at times, hours can be long, no holiday or mileage bonus pay for a long time after hire, benefits are expensive. Schneider won’t allow drivers to use Bluetooth or any other hands-free device, INCLUDING HEARING AIDS, to receive calls while driving. This makes having a life outside of work and scheduling appointments almost impossible.
