      Business Outlook

      Pros

      good mechanics and drivers!

      Cons

      -Not family oriented. Allowed only 12 hours for Family (dads) death and nerve to call during graveside service. Because you were burying your father, dispatcher lies and retaliates by keeping you out on road for 2 weeks. -treats long time drivers with no respect!!! takes pay due to recession promise to give back in a few months, which turned into 6 years and $73,000 from pay, later to be hit in the face with facts of Milan hiring kids out of high school with no experience making twice as you!!! -Have no respect for their employees or family. No compassion for employee who have Loss a loved one. Will harass you at the funeral, 12 hours for bereavement, and continuously retaliates if you do not leave during your dads funeral by keeping you on the road for more than 2 weeks. and saying you do not need a restart. -Company will take get you to sign up for HSA (medicine account), take money from your check but instead of putting money toward your HSA (medicine account) your money is deposited into the company account. -No benefits, (no long term or short term disability, replaced with aflac and stopped that. -no miles, unless your family is a big wig!!! then you will get 2500 miles a week. If no family with high status, you be lucky to 1800 a week!!!! -your weekly pay check will be $300 to 400 bring home!!! IF your LUCKY!!! or dont have a death in the family. -health insurance for 1 plus spouse is a full pay check and half each month. Then it will not cover Anything!! IT is suppose to be 80/20 however you pay 80% and they only pay 20%! JMCGH REP SAID they HATE TO SEE EMPLOYEES FROM MILAN EXPRESS COMING. OBAMA CARE IS !))% better. Do not waste your money or time! -No opportunities -NO COMPENSATION OR BENEFITS besides vacation which 4 days were taking away -95%work and 5%life -This company culture is to make money at all cost. even if it means treating and showing employees disrespect, lies, and being deceitful. -The companies values _THEY HAVE NO MORAL VALUES! They VALUE MONEY FOR THEIR SELF AND OVER EVERYTHING ELSE!!!! EMPLOYEES TO MILAN IS ANOTHER STEP THEY CAN STEP ON< SPIT ON< and dump trash on! -WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE

      Don’t work here

      Carrier sales representative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Not really anything to write here. Sometimes they give us lunch

      Cons

      Management is awful. They constantly changed the rules, one minute they say to do something a certain way then change it a week later. They would have us working from 7am-5pm but would actually expect us to stay after. Even though we only got salary so the extra hours were not paid for. They tried changing my position at the company without giving me a choice, even though it was not the position I applied for. DO NOT WORK HERE

      Would not recommend

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Start up culture, the people who were on my team were great. I enjoyed being around my immediate team- but that's it.

      Cons

      Worked there for over a year and was a top performer, asked for a raise and was told "Raises are only given for promotions and during yearly reviews," (spoiler: never had a yearly review). Upper management was misogynistic and constantly made jabs at women, such as: "If a woman is cheated on, she deserved it and if a man cheats, it is just natural tendencies," "A woman's one goal in life is to get married and have kids,".... I could name more but the post would be too long. I did complain to HR about this, but nothing happened. Changed hours multiple times- from 8-5, to 7-4, to 7-5. Taking lunch was frowned upon, constantly told, "freight doesn't stop."
