The pay was good, they really good about adjusting her schedule so she could get the classes she needed, everybody was very friendly. They had a tuition assistance program and helped to pay for her degree. For her it was a great experience.

She worked in customer service in the distribution center, not on a truck. But she was and is friends with a lot of the drivers and they've all been there for years and seem happy with their jobs.

Maybe it's different in other places, large companies often vary widely from one office to another, but everybody in her location seemed really, really happy with their job.
