Lower management is supportive and willing to listen to concerns most of the time, after that there's no real changes ever made. Workloads don't always equal the number of employees, can be really busy then really slow. Lifts are often breaking down and poorly repaired. The building is falling apart day by day more things break and might get fixed eventually. Coworkers are supportive and all share the same attitude "it's a paycheck". If you are looking for an easy work environment where you can break and lunch whenever and if you have time to it's perfect. If you show enough enthusiasm about the job you are automatically seen as a star employee, on the same scale if everyone complains about the same thing or person nothing will be done about it. Not very much room for advancement but the pay is decent if you are willing to stick around for the raises. Not a horrible place to work by any means but definitely not the best ether. 

This has to be one of the worst companies I've ever worked for. They have no communication (dispatch and management are  out of Canada). You'll have one person tell you one thing and another one say different.  Better pick the right one or you're going to get written up. Worked me 69 hrs one week and 67hrs the next and don't understand why I'm tired. Pay sucks and you are ran like pack mules. Drivers Appreciation week ? Not one mention of that ! Don't bother with this job unless you're a new driver and want something temporary.  

What is the best part of working at the company?
I found that this was a very dangerous place to work.  Total lack of positive supervision. Very unsafe procedures that could have caused injuries to the employees. 
 


What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Dealing with the lack of supervision and knowing that there were others not pulled their weight while some people were taking the job seriously. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Bad, crew infighting and very hostile at times


What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Dysfunctional on a good day and even worse on the bad days. Lack of good leadership and very poor communication from the supervisors.

The biggest  complaints I have with this company is the language barrier. Itbis a Canadian based company run by mostly by either Pakistanis or Indian owners/dispatchers so it is very difficult to communicate. The equipment is run down, always breaking down, etc. The pay is just OK. But for me, it wasn't nearly enough being I was commuting 57 miles one way everyday, and the second I had a medical issue with my daughter, they essentially let me go which was really wrong on thier part. The job itself though is great.  Super easy, go to the same places so you know what to expect so that pet was cool.

This job is great they pay is great you can be more of your own driver as long as your safe do t have dispatch and others breathing down your neck communication could use some improvement but hey that’s what you get when the dispatch is out of Canada overall this is a great job it’s easy drop hook most stressful part is figuring out where to go especially if you haven’t been there before. The job details say new equipment but that hasn’t happened yet only 1 new truck I’ve seen that’s an auto the rest are 13 speeds easy to operate once you get it down. 

Dont work for this company. The pay sucks and doesnt amount up to the cost of living. There is no retirement. Drivers have constantly complained but corporate could care less  they definately dont care about the drivers and whatever goes wrong corporate up in Canada will turn around and blame the people in Kent. They need to take a long hard look at themselves and how they treat their employees. They definately want you to do alot more than what your paid. Stay away from this company you will be glad you did

A typical day in my position can be challenging and requires multitasking; you never know what you might be dealing with on a day to day basis. I would say you need an open mind and must be flexible to do well here.

Learned a great deal in terms of bookkeeping/accounting.

Like any company, there are good and underperforming managers.

Work place culture is good; departments tend to interact independently.

Hardest part of the job is meeting deadlines - a lot of moving parts to complete the month.

Flexibility in terms of work schedules

This company is a joke. Theres barely any benefits and the management doesnt care about you. Theres signs on their front fence that blatantly lie about the company. Theres absolutely zero communication between the Canadian dispatchers, and from the Canadian building to the Kent building so everyone is constantly confused. Save yourself a world of hurt and go work at Walmart before you work at stryder.

Push you to max out your hours. Have 0 regard to your cdl hours.
Employees have even been threatened if they don't complete the run regardless of hours they won't work for 2 days.
Dispatch has 0 respect for drivers.
The pay doesn't even equal to the national average for USA. At the end of the day you make 21 bucks an hour. 

If you want to save yourself stress and headaches stay well clear of this company. Management is horrible the pay sucks. Drivers right out of driving school make more. There's drivers there that have been there 8+ yrs still only making 20hr. The company could careless about you. Employees have complained numerous times that the pay needs to be higher they just ignore  you. Not to mention management to  nice to your face but will stab you in the back every chance they get
