Cons
- Management at this location is lacking - There are many changes in policies, but no one will know until you get in trouble - CYA at all times, constantly needing to make sure that everything is called in to customer service and approved - No trust in the driver's knowledge of their route, nearly impossible to get dispatch to change stops with other drivers that have a shorter run - parking lot where we load at warehouse is not salted/sanded in the winter making it dangerous to carry large parts to the vans - No company cell phone provided for the many phone calls you must make to customer service throughout the day - good luck trying to get a face-to-face with upper management when your satellite management fails to maintain professional - Computer software fails regularly - There is no positive feedback on performance and no annual review process - You are only offered one empire shirt a year as an employee, if you want more you must pay for them when they are offered
