Pros

You can manage your own book of business and semi fun work atmosphere

Cons

Many to list. Managers don't seem to have any actually leadership skills. They are so focused on numbers that employees happiness and comfort at work is second nature. Many tend to overlook the massive egos in this company that Contribute to the massive turnover rate. You need thick skin and expect your manager to give little to no guidance. They hype up sales to be what you make of it and that you control your book of business till they feel you aren't making them enough money. Top reps are left alone and treated like untouchable, increasing their egos. Mid to new reps are left by the wayside for the scraps. Little to no loyalty from client and or the client team.

Pros

As we all know, COVID-19 has become a threat to our every day working lives. Many Americans are filing for unemployment and so many others are worried they will be next. With all this uncertainty I wanted to take time acknowledge how great Echo has been to work for under the current circumstances. As the Coronavirus outbreak started to explode in America, Echo had the foresight to scale up their technology immediately so their employees could remain working in full force. In an effort to continue daily operations as normal, Echo's IT team rolled out a plan so employee's can work remote within a 5 day timeline. Keep in mind, this is a logistics company where 98% of the workforce solely have stationary jobs within our HQ and nationwide offices. These quick actions made by our executives led us to continue to service all of clients needs and most importantly keep America's truck drivers busy on the roads with essential shipments. Not only have we been able to keep our business afloat, we've been able to expand by helping new clients in need as well. I've been apart of the Echo team for 6 years and I've never felt more confident in my company than I do today. I am a salesperson, so please do not be fooled into thinking this was written so HR would acknowledge me and give me a raise. This message was to inform all those out there who have talent that this company cares and will fight for your job security.

Cons

Sales is not for everyone. But if you can make it work here, you can have a nice career.

Pros

-Young/fun culture -Down to earth colleagues -Up to date technology -They give you the tools to become an industry pro -Great location that is easy to commute to if you drive or take the CTA. There is free street parking around the area if you get there early enough and there are parking garages if you want to pay for them. -Fooda -Quarterly bonuses

Cons

-High turnover rate -Demanding clients -Compensation isn't competitive -After a while you realize that culture is cool and all, but your compensation should matter way more than that. -Directors aren't transparent -They make it difficult to switch departments because they need ppl in the MT dept. -Always freezing. Bring a blanket. -A lot of the time if you have to train someone, you basically become that person's boss and then hardly have time to do your own work.
