Working at Con-way in Fife, WA: 1 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Fife, WA Area

"Great place to work, without wanting to travel career opportunites were limited going forward."

What do you like about working at Con-way?

"It was a great place to work and if I wanted either to travel a lot or be a service center manager for the rest of my life then I would have stayed. But, I didn't so I only had one more step to go, which would have been a class 1 service center manager, before I platued out. I was considered a fast riser in the company, was one of the youngest class 3 managers, and my resignation took them by surprise. My wife and I are ready to move back to Kansas City to be closer to our families and we are at a place financially that we are able to do it now so why continue to work 80-100 hours if I don't plan on staying with the company"

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Be honest they do a very thorough background check. Stay away from negatives about your former employeer especially if it is over hour being worked too much. They like people that they think will stay with the company for a long time."

What don't you like about working at Con-way?

"80-100 hour weeks. New leadership seemed to struggle with what was needed operationally to succeed with new sales initiatives."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Better planning and execution with major sales initiatives to what is going to be needed operationally to make it a success. Because of this lack of planning it caused the service center managers to have to work 80-100 hours for the last 3 months (no end in site) just to stay on top of things."
