Avantages
8 hours of thorough training right into a "jack of all traits" position helped with my adjustment to new surroundings. Management has strong skill set in "do or die" motivation tactics. CEO and VPs promote a glass door view into the the companies profitability by sending out daily reports on their success. Commission makes a huge difference when you get to the 1 year mark, I was content with the annual salary of $31,000 because of the great benefits but the .005% commission really made the difference for me. The night phones once a week and once a month mandatory weekend appearance definitely helped me manage my time and learn how to perform on little hours of sleep
Inconvénients
Some of the language used in the office I did not care for, definitely not a work atmosphere for the weary. Management consist of a close group of buddies who have built a solid business model on the false hope that there is life after being a pod leader or branch manager. HR seems to be all over the reviews here so I am curious as to how a company can encourage its employees to write positive reviews and HR can fill out ones for workers who are "too busy" ? Promotions consist of taking on more responsibility for a little pay increase, which I understand is typical in most promotions, but then putting it on your shoulders to pay the hungry eyes that assist in your pods operations is just mean. Turn over is high but the transportation industry in its own right has above average turnover. It is a great place to start out but a future is not here and its the truth. Any advancement is based on your relationship with the CEO and VP which is hard to do when they only came to our office to point out the negatives.
