Excellent Training, Few Opportunities for Long Term Growth

National account manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The LTL training program was excellent. They've reformatted it a bit since I was hired, but Echo was my first supply chain job. It was a thorough and comprehensive introduction to LTL transport.

Cons

Very high turnover. Salesmen complain of "lead-lock," or a lack of available prospects to call on. Disputes over leads and accounts are frequent and usually settled in favor of senior reps, so it's difficult to gain traction as a young salesperson. Sweeping changes in benefits and commission structure were made without warning.

Great people, horrible sale job!

Business Outlook

Pros

Strong company culture with great employees, leagues and events. If you're not in sales you probably have a decent and pretty easy job. If you are in sales and if you call the right person at the right time you could get lucky. It's more about getting lucky than being good at sales.

Cons

Pretty terrible compensation and benefits package, long hours, no opportunity for advancement and awful sales management.

Business Outlook

Pros

The interview process was great (thanks to Mr. Sun), relaxed atmosphere, casual dress code, no micromanaging.

Cons

River North location is not ideal, low salary, expensive medical benefits, sub par 401K package, team leads, supervisors & managers are young and lack experience & knowlege of how to manage people. The entire company is extremely sales driven, policies & incentives are geared towards & favors the sales department.
