    This company has the worst management skills I have ever encountered. They do not communicate to their employees properly, refuse to supply information like vacation start times, attendance records, policy changes and frequently break labor laws and union policies as well as sharing confidential and personal information with co-workers. They have NO team building skills and create dissent amongst the ranks. This is the worst working atmosphere I have ever been involved in. I just think when you run a business, you shouldn't run over the people you have working for you. It sucks.

    This is the local company with the old FLDs I see all the time around Chicago, right?

    A close friend of mine worked for them. 3 month's of hell, the way he described it...dispatcher's were the biggest complaint. They would make him work 19 hour's a day. Then the safety-manager would pull him in the office and ask wtf? He would explain the dispatcher said to work or be done.

    I feel for anyone that has to work for standard forwarding.

    That is not uncommon in many local companies. They work the drivers like dogs. 24 hour shifts in a daycab are not rare.:biggrin_2551:

    Thanks for the scoop on Standard Forwarding, my friend who in a loan officer knows everyone and was talking to someone that hires for this company has heard that they pay well and offered to try to help my husband get a job with them. Maybe not such a good idea....

    Well they are now at an 8.8% pay back to the company and the top pay is $17.55 an hour AND the union now wants to increase their cut as well...I can only imagine that the starting pay at 85% of $17.55 is not what I would call paying well and that takes 18 months until you see a raise......rough.... but if you like to be abused and taken advantage of ....well ...go for it .......
