If you want an unbiased truthful review, seek out and speak with current/former employees before making a decision.
Pros
No weekends (unless customer has issue or driver has issues) Met a lot of good coworkers whom I’m still friends with today. Met contacts at major companies and learned more about the business as a whole
Cons
You may be hired in an extended training program: Basically the company asked for money from the state and the state pays half your salary for 3-6 months. You then have to stay in contact with an unemployment office (even if you were not on unemployment prior to) in order to give them updates on your training. However you are not training, they put you on a veterans book for 90 days and are working full time 40 hour weeks. It’s better to know someone there: About 20% of the staff is from a single previous logistics company (most mgmt is) and brought friends and even family over with them. Rules don’t apply to everyone: Although success is measured by money made, there are still KPI’s that you will be judged by. Some have to hit them, others do not. You will be held accountable to these even though they pick and choose who has to hit them. Management has no background in management: Every company needs managers. It’s important to note that the person chosen to manage people should not be decided on by who was good at sales. This is apparent due to the lack of professionalism. Poor judgement while having conversations(things that shouldn’t be said), making decisions and resolving issues. Like telling every company we work with that we will use our trucks when we double broker basically everything. That would be fine but only the good reps are allowed to double broker freight. They make us lean on the idea that we have 600+ trucks when pitching our services to companies, later to tell us we need to find non company trucks to move that freight even though the customer may be expecting our MC number on the side of the trucks coming in. Turnover is extremely high: In 10 months I documented the names of 33 people who were either fired or quit. That’s really high considering there are only about 70+ employees. Basically new employees come in, make a current veterans book make money for a few months, then turned into a lead generator for 6 months only to most likely be let go. Those accounts and leads they secured over that time are then given to the higher earning employees to pad their stats.
