Pros
Health insurance is decent. Some truly fantastic people work there.
Cons
Most of the other people are fresh out of college so those kids are annoying. I've worked at another freight brokerage and it must just be the industry but to get ahead, you have to take the good accounts from departed coworkers, hitting commission on your own is near impossible. That's how all the longer-tenured reps who are actually making good money got there; they just got accounts from other reps who've left. I was there for two years and not a single person in that two years hit their commission. Not saying it's Spot's fault but it's the industry; there is absolutely no loyalty with your customers. As a broker, you're completely expendable. If they find someone who's $5 cheaper, they'll drop you like a hot rock. This job is really only for kids right out of college, if you've worked anywhere else you'll be quickly frustrated. At least in the last few years, very difficult to hit commissions or move up. Management sees Spot as a cool, laid-back place to work but it's anything but. You are on-call 24/7, literally. There's a bowling alley for some reason but it's for show, no one uses it.
