Tyson Foods reviews

This is an overall good place to work. While no place, driving job or not, is perfect. I am satisfied with this job. The support I have received from my fleet manager, dispatchers (day,night,weekend), HR, driver support, etc…. is great. I do admit, all of the buzzers, Esmart, etc…. does take some getting use to.

Equipment is excellent. Pay is decent. Definitely some upsides to working here. Some of the plants are filthy nasty. The biggest downside I've found to date is the attitudes of the dispatch personnel; namely Pottsville. The act more as judge and executioner than a support team. There are constant threats towards the drivers of termination, suspension, lose safety bonus, etc. You never seem appreciated and no matter how well you do,; as soon as there is one mistake even minor the go on the attack. The dispatch team is stone faced and come off more as a threat instead of support. I've definitely found real support from the Springdale personnel. I enjoy the work, the places I go, but those terminal personnel in Pottsville are very sour and threatening. There are better private fleets than this one. I think they put on a facade about being safety conscious and driver appreciation, but their actions show it not to be true.

Equipment is decent don't use ur own money to pay for anything u want get it back its a hassle drop and hooks are the best but live unloads at some of these places causes u to loose money and ur not getting paid to sit there dispatchers I haven't had any issues actually been rock solid and on it addressing all my needs as they arise

I drove for tyson for 1.5 years and I am coming back to drive with them 3 years later. It’s a solid company with great benefits good amount of drop and hooks and they take care of their equipment.

I worked for Tyson foods for almost 4 years they do not care about there drivers at all they leave you sit all day getting a trailer reloaded 3 times for weight issues with no pay then expect you to run all night with no rest, Dispatch is a joke being on hold for an hour to an. Hour and a half night dispatch never answers the damn phone, the shop has absolutely no mechanics, they don’t repair anything, They will steal from you as far as your earned wages your terminal mgrs is always supposedly in a meeting, I’m sure there probably braiding each others hair, because they sure don’t do anything else, Safety is the biggest joke of all you come to them with safety concerns and you are just ignored,they have no problem sitting you at a customer delivery for 8-10 hrs with absolutely zero compensation, and you can always see an orientation class with 10-30 new drivers when your wannabe Dispatchers tell you they have No freight So if you don’t wanna work and Have your due wages stolen from you Please stay clear
