Thos. Somerville Co.

I have worked at Thos. Somerville for eight years.  When I was discussing a potential job opening, I was given a list of things that would happen for me over a given period of time.  Each and every one  of those promised items was exceeded.  If you work hard with a focus on customer service and just doing the right things,  you have a tremendous opportunity for growth and advancement.  I cannot even closely express the gratitude that I have for the management team as well sa the entire company for the bright attitude within this company.

Hours are really great, 6-3 with some opportunity to work overtime. I enjoy the driving aspect of the job, the warehouse work can get tedious and the atmosphere is not highly motivated. Unless you want to get into sales, there really isn't anywhere to go up in this company. Decent job for someone looking to get into the trucking industry without taking the full plunge, or someone who is getting older and would like a slower pace kind of job.

The Richmond branch is poorly run by an incompetent branch manager. The company itself is good, but the Richmond branch needs better management before working there could be recommended. 

You won't get a decent raise, You won't grow on the company unless you are part of their train sales program... All the learning you'll have won't have any compensation. Not worth it.

Pay is low, outdated software.  They are somewhat employee focused but still a good ole boy network permeates through company.  Lots of turnover but to be expected in that industry.
