Horrible company

Pros

None to report. Worst company I have ever worked for.

Cons

Terrible leadership. Unethical treatment of employees. Leadership does not make sure the right thing happens for the hard working people of this company. Communication is extremely dysfunctional. My experience was one that could have resulted in a strong lawsuit but decided it was not worth my time/resources to waste any further on this company.

Pros

Some of the people were fairly nice. Onsite cafeteria was good. Easy job to coast to retirement on which is what most people were doing. 40 hour weeks are the norm unless something extraordinary happens. You'll have to be on call sometimes though.

Cons

No or miniscule raises (1 or 2 %) and very inconsistent. Lousy benefits. Without raises, management's only tool to motivate was fear. Layoffs would come without warning. Also they're currently being sued by the Justice department for fraud and are under investigation by their investors. Some unprofessional behavior like the manager who tried to convert me to Christianity. There's also a lot of seemingly random changes in direction and a lot of turnover of Executives. There's not really any clear vision. There's also not a lot of opportunities to expand your skillset.

Pros

None to speak of since it became YRC

Cons

Some of the worse people you ever want to meet. YRC as a whole, is about misleading you and then stealing from you. W
