Con-way Freight Employer Reviews

The daily work day is generally structured and follow the same routine. You will be able to sharpen your skill for problem solving while building business relationships that can last a life time. The hardest part of the job is you are hired based on seniority which while the pay scale is very fair even on the high end, your hours generally will be starting – more...  at the 3rd shift which will take cooperation and sacrifice from your family. What I most enjoy about the job is meeting and networking with people from all over the world. Working here you are made to feel that your job is the most important job held which gives great positive work sigma. – less

Multitaked and very busy Customer Service. Customer relations

Started a a billing clerk at night and loved it. Moved around in the company doing many different jobs in different locations during my years of employment. My co-workers were really great and I keep in touch with most of them. I loved having the responsibility of working on my own when needed and working in a team when needed. Management did not look – more...  over you shoulder. They let you know what they wanted and expected you to do it in a timely manner. – less

During my 7 year tenure, I saw significant shifts in direction of company, as well as goals and strategy. Company is on the path to success with a heavy focus on Lean, but management and supervisory staff is well undercompensated with their "total rewards" package - leading to job dissatisfaction and retention issues.

Great pay, good benefits. Family atmosphere, friendly coworkers

This job prepared me very well for moving forward in many different fields. Would not have been able to start my own business and run it for eight years without this experience.

company seemed to want to work for you to excell,but supervisor was trying to show managment he could make shop excell with out regards of working employes

Excellent benefits package, poor emoloyee support system which led to a lack of professional development.

I work in a "zone" linehaul. I've made $59,000 last year and this was my first year with the company. Good place to work. Don't care to work all nights it makes you feel like a vampire. There's only two of us that work in this zone, me and the dayshift driver. He has seniority on me so I'll never see days. The only way I can advance is to quit and find – more...  another job. But it pays the bill without having to work my butt off on the dock all the time. There is a 10% turnover rate at the bottom. If you can hold out for two or three months there will be enough rotation that your hours will pick up and you'll get more than you can handle. I have a buddy that hired on the same day I did. One year later after the bid and he has a dedicated night linehaul run. Not bad. Of course those above him didn't want that run so it was passed down until he took it. Benefits could be better but there not the worst. – less

Con-Way Freight has a very strong Culture after adopting LEAN. They also have very concrete values and a long history in the Freight Industry. They also have very high expectations and place a lot of value on their scorecard which is how each terminal is graded against the next. As a supervisor you will be placed on a shift where you will directly effect – more...  the placement of your terminal on the scorecard. Your stress will skyrocket and depending on your terminal's hours you will often have to work til midnight and 1am after coming in at noon. – less

Great pay...you will earn it. Good people to work with. Good benefits. Better than average benefits.
