Unloading trailers (Former Employee) – Elwood, IL – August 14, 2018

Schneider is one of them jobs where u unloading trailers so at times its stressful for people who don't lift on a regular or that much because it can get competitive when u tryna get it done when you see everyone else done with there trailers.. Besides that, everything else is just how you move

Upper Management Doesn't Understand the Job

Terminal Manager (Former Employee) – Elwood, IL – August 14, 2018

The upper management team doesn't understand the day to day, and expectation. It's hard to be successful when your superiors do not know what your expectations should be on a day to day basis.

Pros

Large Company

Cons

Several Levels of management not aware of the day expectations.

Schneider was a good place to work.

Billing Services Specialist (Former Employee) – Green Bay, WI – August 11, 2018

Good people, benefits, decent pay.

Class A Truck Driver (Current Employee) – Charlotte, NC – August 9, 2018

My experience at Schneider has been overall positive. They keep you running if you want to run. It was rare that you would have to sit around waiting on a load. My next load was usually ready before I even dropped the load I had. Health insurance plan is really good compared to other trucking companies. Safety is their biggest concern. They treat you with respect. They will stress you about safety before anything else. My only complaint would be the pay. It is decent but it could be better. They always get me home on time. Other companies may offer more money but not the same level of respect.

Pros

Stay busy, Benefits, Safety, 401K

Cons

Pay

High paced Strategic and business mimded

Loader (Former Employee) – Elwood, IL – August 7, 2018

It's easy! The manager wants you there on time so they can let you know what they expect of you and how many trucks they want loaded and ready for shipment.

Pros

They will always have a job for you and they have people you can talk to there

Political

Collections Specialist (Former Employee) – Green Bay, WI – August 6, 2018

Management is unacceptable. Work life balance is their big seller and it’s untrue. Don’t even try to utilize FMLA. They will make life unbearable. And in the end they will find a way to terminate.

Pros

Good place to work. Pay could be better. Shop needs improvement.

Dedicated Local/Regional Commercial Driver (Current Employee) – Green Bay, WI – August 4, 2018

Good place to work overall for someone who understands the driving lifestyle. As with any job, there are good days and bad days. There are days when your load and paperwork are ready for you when you arrive, then there are days when you'll wait 3 hours for your load.

Pros

Good communication. Good opportunities to work on major accounts.

Cons

Wait times. Pay. No paid sick days. No compensatory time program.

Poor management

Inspector (Current Employee) – Laredo, TX – August 2, 2018

I wouldn’t recommend This work environment it is very stressful, and when it comes to upper positions they lack fairness among the staff. There is alot of favoritism, inorder to obtain a better position or shift you have to be on management’s best side for example be others “nanny” and observe every single move & be reporting.

The pay wasn't good. I had to over work myself just to get a decent check.

CDL Driver (Current Employee) – Gary, IN – July 31, 2018

The pay wasn't good. I had to over work myself just to get a decent check. I got a decent amount of miles per week. I don't get any benefits until I have been there for a year.

We're sorry you felt your pay didn't meet expectations. We evaluate driver pay weekly to make sure it's competitive with the market, and want drivers to speak with their leaders if they have pay concerns. Many of your benefit options are effective 60 days after date of hire. Thanks for the feedback and drive safe.

Billion dollar Corp should not cry poverty!

Team Driver / OTR (Former Employee) – Green Bay, WI – July 31, 2018

I worked there twice. From 06-10 I will say that their safety training is second to none.
I would only recommend working here for a new driver. After you gain experience, get the out!
The second time from 2013-15 the CEO is not driver friendly. Crying poverty. Trying to cut corners at the expense of the drivers.
I actually left because someone saw my appearance at an OC and suggest I get a sleep study because he thought I might have sleep apnea.
Total micro managing.

Pros

Safety training

Cons

Micro management pay, cheap.

Field Service Technician (Former Employee) – Kansas City, MO – July 27, 2018

excellent company to work for

Professional Driver (Former Employee) – West Memphis, AR – July 26, 2018

Very challenging at times solo driving would have been a better opportunity for me instead of team driving, only because it your team member quits it puts you out of work.
