Pros

They have decent benefits, and the pay is good. But You will work your butt off for every single penny you earn.

Cons

I worked out of a depot in NH, but the main headquarters in is Westbrook, ME. The clown they have in charge of transportation in Westbrook, ME, does not believe in properly training new delivery drivers, or equiping them with the proper tools that each driver is supposed to have to perform their job efficiently. I was told I would have 6 weeks to train, I only got 3 weeks. Every driver has a scanner to use, I was never given 1 to use, which makes the drivers job 10 times harder & and more stressful. The times allowed to deliver the products or items to each customer, is EXTREMELY unreasonable. It doesn't matter why you're running late, no matter what the excuse, they don't want to hear it. You will run late, no matter what. This company works the drivers into the ground. You will be stressed out every day you work, and you will come home very sore every day. You will be hauling a heavy 2-wheeler up & down stairs more often then they say in orientation. The pay is good, but to me, the money was not worth what I had to go thru every day. EVERY move you make while working is being tracked. They have spy cameras in every truck, that records everything you do & say. They load the trailers very poorly, which makes the drivers job that much hardewr every day. No matter how much you complain about how poorly your trailer was loaded, they don't want to hear it, and do nothing about it at all. Trust me, this place is run by people that could care less about the drivers, and you will regret taking a job with this company. No matter what depot you get hired to work out of, as long as you're working for the clowns in Westbrook, ME office, it will be this way. This company has a very poor turn around with drivers. Management & supervisors could care less about the drivers. They will tell you many different things in orientation, but reality will hit you very soon afterwards, trust me.

Pros

The employees are friendly and have varied backgrounds. Good initial compensation and benefit package.

Cons

The leadership in the upper management is severely lacking. Ineffective and unskilled management. Upper management doesn’t value outside education like they should. They can be a bit naive about current knowledge in the industry that they are involved in. Middle management is not encouraged to professionally develop the talent of their workforce by upper management. The morale of the company is poor. Poor recognition of employee’s skills. Favoritism is another obvious issue. Lower than going market rate for wages/salaries.
