Echo Global Logistics reviews

Specific to this branch, Where do I start? Huge turnover problems, long hours with very low pay, no advancement opportunity, nepotism, HR violations, terrible leadership, they take failed managers and make them trainers, they take sales reps and make them support reps without any notice or reason why, they fire other managers to fall on the sword for the sr mgmt problems, fake/forced culture, on paper they may look good to the corporate office but people are genuinely not happy here, the list goes on but I prefer to not waste any more time. More general issues, they try to call themselves a technology company but they are severely lacking. software is not strong, releases seem to be to fix problems and never actually create anything. Terrible base pay, long road to commissions, a laughable 401k plan.

The company seems to value production, above all else. You will be forced to work 12+ hrs every day, plus a Saturday shift, which you won't be compensated for. They'll tell you that it's an "opportunity" to sell more. But we all know it's just to squeeze you. Soon that $35k is minimum wage and it takes most 8-12 months to "break through" to actual commission earnings. You will see a few examples of people that have broken through on the teams, but they typically make $50k for 12+hr days. If you'd like to advance, there's a long line, expect 3+ years before you get promoted. If you ask to transfer to another department, HR will remind you that is the job you signed up for etc. Lots of bullying and shoddy people in the company that make trust an issue at all levels. It's tough when people steal your sales, but when it happens multiple times weekly and the managers defend the people doing the stealing, it's a concern. If you confront the person, they cry foul to the manager which will only earn you a bad mark. Whiny, complainy, young, and entitled. It's scary.
