Pros

Fun atmosphere, Very similar to a college frat house. Fast paced environment, never bored. Made a lot of new friends, good resume builder, opportunity to make a lot of money.

Cons

NO opportunity for advancement at all, only able to make more money. Very little guidance, supposedly a great sales training program, but only if you are one of the favorites. If you are one of the "chosen ones" accounts are handed out to you regularly and you receive an incredible amount of support. However, if you are one of the other 98% you are left with no guidance on your own and told to try and make it work. The Chicago Central office is completely different from every other office, so don't take this as indicative of all of CH Robinson, just Chicago Central.

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
