What needs to change to make the company culture better?

hire actual experienced drivers for managers not someone who is learning on the job and gets eaten alive.

Long hours, negativity, communication, training

Less micro management. Hea=what employess have say

Get rid of the disrespect from mid level management. Directors to first level managers

Waste management listen to everything

Review from Customer Support Dept

Have management respect and follow their own policies and rules

better management, competitive rates, understand the competitors

Management talks behind employees backs and down grades them. Management talks to other employees about other workers. Management along with DM makes a very hostile work environment

Better benefits pay and management

refresh leadership from the top - down.. Reward success

Review from Finance Dept

Because the company is consumed by greed, men with no honour or morals terrorise the work place making everyone distrust each other and only look out for number one! Until the aforementioned issues are corrected, the company culture will remain toxic.
