Con-way Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"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"
