Like James says, the reviews aren't worth the smartphone screen they're printed on.
The best mindset for reading "review" posts is for entertainment value only. Pass the popcorn, please.

Be careful about forums with a lot of negative reviews. If you stay around here long enough you'll come to find that most of those folks that post all of those negative reviews about "x" company likely entered into this industry with:
1) the wrong mindset and expectations; 2) feel "wronged" by "x" company, yet take no personal responsibility; 3) will often gang up on, and drown out any driver(s) that bother to post in defense of "x" company.
Drivers that are doing well usually don't have the time, or care to post on a forum about their good/great/wonderful experience driving for "x" company. They're too busy working, or enjoying their home time with friends and family. Besides, how long would anyone likely stick around on a site where they're constantly bashed for sticking up for "x" company anyways?
