Truck Center Companies

Very stressful, high pace job where the low man on the totem pole usually gets the reaming no matter what happens. Someone has to fry for discrepancies and it surely won’t be management. There is no tolerance for pretty much anything except excellence they expect you to never have any kind of needs or social life, you are expected to eat, breathe and live for this company. Management expects unrealistic goals from staff and never offers solutions only criticism and micromanagement. Management has a very “because I said so” attitude and is not interested in learning new ways to do things they’d rather remain the same even if it’s unproductive. Required to wear thick khakis even in the summer time that will always look dirty because you’re constantly lifting heavy dirty greasy things… need I say more. 

If you consider yourself a competent tech, stay away from this company. Communication from management is lacking in every way. The service "director" will gaslight you if they need to cover for themselves. Shop management can be incredibly disrespectful to you on a basic human level if you are not part of the "club". Shop tooling is quite sad for a dealer of this size. The shop is usually cluttered and empty bays are left dirty. Management will expect you to clean the mess you did not make and if you don't, it'll come back on you if you're not part of the "club". There is ALWAYS a constant stream of rework from this shop. Don't believe the timeframes they give you for getting to do classroom training, the training instructors have personally told me the current service director has been problematic in sending techs to do the training. If you want to enjoy this career and be able to take pride in the company you work for, Truck Center Companies Omaha shop may not be for you.  

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people that worked at the Liberal location were good people. When it came to the corporate leadership, not so good.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Worrying about being micro managed was very stressful. And then always had to worry about the vice president and some corporate leaders trying to micro manage as well.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment and culture was okay. Just had a few of the people that worked at the Liberal location were bad apples.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
My typical day at the Liberal location was pretty good. Dealing with my team and other colleagues was good, as long as there wasn’t too much micro managing involved.

Running around pulling tickets for drivers and not allowed to take breaks except for lunch. Haven’t learned anything new that I didn’t already know before coming here. They don’t give good training at all it’s basically 1 day of showing you what to do and then you’re on your own having to figure it out on your own. Management is terrible no communication and when you need off for something important you’re talked down on. They say one thing but do another, if they promise you a “promotion” don’t hold your breath. Nothing but men, if you’re a woman you better be comfortable with uncomfortable situations because they don’t do anything about it. Not getting any kind of breaks always on your feet. There’s really nothing good to say if you’re not family or good friends with the bosses you won’t amount to anything. 

From a technician standpoint this place is a decent shop. The benefits are okay. They do provide online and in person training classes to further educate yourself on your craft but you do have to sign a contract for in person training classes agreeing to paying back the class,lodging and food expenses if you leave within 1 yr from taking the class. The service manager had told me during the interview that the company will only pay you 2 hours a week to complete the mandatory online training within 6 months from starting online training. The shop is lacking some tooling. The floors are beat up some on the shop. It's a busy shop with quite a few technicians so you will find yourself working outside and not in the shop. If you are a hard worker you will get raises. 

The people are good people, but doesn't make them good management. Management seems to be disengaged or overwhelmed. Leads to different expectations amongst peers in the same role. Corrective behavior changes seem to always be too late to make a significance. Lack of promotions and positive feedback from anyone in the company. I have never been told nice work, or nice job.....I have not seen or heard it said to anyone else either.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Generally fast passed as it is the transportation industry.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Helping customers making sure they are getting what they ask for the first time.

As far as benefits, you do not get PTO time until your 1 year work anniversary. When you do get PTO you have no choice but to use it on your sick days you call in or have to leave early for whatever reason. You get severely micromanaged. Management at this location will pick favorites and if your ideas don’t align with his or you do something he hates, he will scream at you in front of everyone and tell others he will find reasons to fire you. 
Outside of management, there’s great people that work there and have great camaraderie. 

I was hired from a competitor.  Their was great praise at how "fantastic " a candidate I was.
This turned sour quickly.   There was not the least bit of a learning curve.   I made two delivery mistakes, and was immediately given two two letters of warning, vs job discussions.   The third time,I was terminated.  My attendance and attitude were stellar.  I got along well with others.  I HAD GOOD RAPPORT with my customers.   Apparently, they expect PERFECTION. Do NOT TAKE a job offer. You will be highly dissolutioned!.
