Pros

I was able to work from home whenever I needed to. They basically let me own my work completely and do what I felt was needed to get to the final goal without interference.

Cons

"Without interference" also includes without any apparent interest from anyone in the value of my contribution, despite continually saying how important it was. After taking on not only the work of the vacated position I was hired to fill, but also rolling in the the work of two consultants who were let go not long after I started, I managed to not only keep the project from imploding completely but stabilized it, made it extensible, and made it into a platform for delivering value to the company. I felt more than justified in asking for a raise, but was turned down with a comment about not seeing a "return on investment". Somehow, stonewalling for two years on expanding the team beyond just me (when the scope of work easily would have occupied 4+ people from the very beginning) even after saving them the cost of two consultants is viewed by this company as an "investment". Thanks, you can keep your investments. All things considered, they seem to operate from a mindset of doing as little as possible for their employees -- for example, they only pay out PTO at termination if legally required to by the state the employee works in. My manager spoke with me just one single time after I gave my notice, despite talk of a transition plan to make sure I left as much knowledge behind as possible. And I feel like I really did ... but honestly, who cares? Not them.

Pros

One of the better LTL companies I’ve been to. Will work with you for the most part

Cons

The vacation set up is dumb. No sick days you get 3 weeks PTO for sick and personal days and it’s almost impossible to take a day off you didn’t put in in November of the previous year then force you to use pto when you call in. Some management is ok but most is not the greatest
