C.H. Robinson reviews

I had a whole essay on cons that i deleted to replace with one actual example... Long story short... Was "asked" to re-negotiate a year long contract for a rate for a carrier(client) of mine that had taken care of this exact business for many years. I tried to re-negotiate but the desired rate by CH was under the market rate and these companies had aways accommodated us with fair rates and superb service. So when they disagreed i couldn't help but understand their perspective. I took this information back to the respective customer team to discuss other possibilities and their response to me was that if i could not get the job done they would find someone else who could. They proceeded to pull that business from my client and gave it to someone else's client who didn't even hit the original desired rate but undercut my client's rate by a few bucks (less then $30 difference). Not 2 weeks later we received unsettling news from the customer that their service had been so sporadic and poor in the past few days that they were considering pulling the business from CH entirely. This is very common. Sacrificing quality for margins and making deals that will change to fit CH's mold. All the power is on one side and if your not on board and willing to do WHATEVER it takes they will replace you in 2 clicks of a computer mouse.

CONS -very,very,very Limited advancement potential (like i said great 1st job) put your time in @ CHR get your skills in logistics -long hours (after hours phone, including weekends and holidays) ( but youll learn some skills) -CHr does NOT recognize the hardest working employees from put people whom put in the most time & make them the most $
