Pros

Having C.H. Robinson on your resume looks good to future employers as they're not aware of the internal chaos and shenanigans that happen.

Cons

I think this company could have great potential...if they taught their managers to treat their employees just as good as the managers are treated. Managers think so little of their employees it's disgusting. Their employees are only there to do a job and make management look good, but receive no help, little pay and bad remarks. Having worked at corporate, it's appalling to see that my team's size dropped nearly in half in only one year (50+ to 30ish), yet executives took no care as to why people were quitting. Management instead just feverishly hired temp/contract employees and put more pressure on their full time employee to get the job done with less. Ch strives to say that they help grow careers, however budgets are "so low", they can't afford to send anyone but management to trainings and industry conferences; employees must stay behind as someone must be there at all times. Their promotion of employees leaves little to be desired as they won't promote outperforming employees because they can't imagine loosing a top employee in that role. It's also very interesting to note the people that quit versus ones that are let go because mainly men are let go by being forced out and set up to fail - take on projects that are doomed from the beginning. It's absolutely mind boggling how this company continues to win "Best Place to Work" year after year. I also understand departments vary and so do managers, however it was rare to hear about a good manager.

Pros

Not much that I can think of, would say its decent pay but they move the goal posts on goals every year so once you get comfortable with your goals and achieving your target to them hitting the reset button and back to square one

Cons

The culture has shifted in a very negative direction. Top performers can still feel boxed in by limited growth opportunities, changing expectations, and compensation structures that do not always reflect actual performance. There is a heavy focus on control, office attendance, and short-term metrics, while trust and morale continue to decline. It can feel political, exhausting, and disconnected from the people actually driving results. Very toxic for capacity reps, they do everything wrong and contstantly are the whipping posts for commercial teams who are always in the right
