Pros

Free coffee about it. Also they allow you to do whatever you want.

Cons

Omg where to begin. Management doesn’t care. Favoritism. You can’t call on leads with over 250k revenue unless you’re a national rep. Every big company is already taken by a senior rep. The office is split between the command side and the echo side. The company makes it near impossible to reach commission. Not a place to work if you really want to make money. On the up side they don’t fire here so if you was a job to screw around at here’s the place!

Echo Global Logistics Response

Thank you for your feedback! We understand that the previous acquisition had some bumps in the way we operated (that can be typical when you grow as fast as we do!!). Since the acquisition, we’ve redesigned the way we operate from the top down, integrating our teams as #OneEcho. We’ve also adjusted how our reps work and the clients they can call on. While we do not have a $250k threshold, we do define our pipeline to ensure experienced sales reps are pursuing the largest opportunities while also investing significantly in our newer reps’ careers (through training, coaching and mentoring) to ensure they achieve national rep status as quickly as possible. In addition, our new commission plan shows our commitment to our new reps and their need to earn variable comp on their first day on the floor! Thanks again for your feedback – we think we’ve made significant progress and we’re sorry you weren’t able to experience it!

Pros

My time at ECHO was phenomenal, we had an incredible team, a fearless leader and my peers were intelligent, hard working and driven. The company was growing, going into new verticals and hiring both in Chicago and across our regional offices. After COVID the office was too large so they downsized into a really cool industrial modern office. Each desk was outfitted with multiple large monitors and if you need anything tech wise, it was easy to get. They held annual winter parties that were fun and a great way to meet employees in other orgs. Being in HR I was not as involved in the Sales or revenue building activities but I did work closely with the hiring leaders who were excellent. Overall, the company was always looking to improve it's hiring practices and the senior leadership was committed to making ECHO more diverse, which was great to see, and really encouraging.

Cons

I joined at a peak time in ECHO's history and the company was riding a wave of momentum. Unfortunately the good times were fading and the business really started to struggle post supply chain boom. I never got the feeling that the sales team had much energy, there was very little socializing and when you walked by the sales teams, you could hear a pin drop, seemed like most team members were doing very little. It's clear the company was not doing well and instead of shaking things up, nothing really changed. The business was failing and layoffs were constant.
