Pros

Some good people to work with.

Cons

It appeared to be a promised place from a great interview where they promised room advancement, growth, training, and safety. Unfortunately in my own experience none came true. I had to deal with some people that appeared brought their own personal problems, life frustrations to work, needed to release those problems and frustrations with someone and felt that someone was me the new hire. Some people inside companies like Carmacks need to realize if you applied and showed you had a solid resume with previous work stability, you are offered and accepted the job is because you where promised all in the hiring process and that you are trying to make a living, pay your bills, put some food on the table, you showed up every scheduled day and tried your best for then a few “big guys” decide to get rid of you because they didn’t like you. Once again I can only say from my own personal experience, I felt they hire you pretty much treating full time employee as a seasonal worker. Do not get blindsided by their beautiful words said in the interview because it will most likely be a seasonal (90 day waste of time) Only apply if you are really considering taking a risk and looking for seasonal (90 day) and screwing your once solid resume for future job applications.

Pros

Lots of hours good for 3 years then probably time to move on. Hard to get fired if you stay good with the bosses every year they ask what you made last year but never actually look to see what you make. So easy to get an extra buck or two every couple of years. Treat new people well but once they think they own you they expect the world from you. And have no mind letting you kill yourself for there bonuses.

Cons

No room for advancement they will lie through there teeth if you are not a buddy with the bosses, golfing drinking, hockey, you better have these interest if you want to move up. The office is so large and only getting bigger but can't figure out why they can't seem to make more money. Don't expect any support from management but you will hear about it if you don't so something the way they want it, but they don't tell you what they want. Need to be a mind reader.
