Pros

The people Great Building Beer on friday

Cons

1.) 35,000 salary non-negotiable 2.) expected make 80-100 cold calls per day 3.) Training program is horrible. Basically waste 3 months sitting in a classroom. 4.) You will absolutely get blown out of the water on any full truckload quote you do with someone. That's how you start making money on full truckload, not moving a single pallet for $30 gross profit. 5.) Your job can easily be eliminated since your the 3rd party. You have customers yelling at you for missed/drop times, and theirs nothing you can do about it. 6.) Extremely hard grow a book of business being a new person. Basically any company in the USA is in the database taken by some seasoned vet. 7.) Won't see decent bonus until your 3 or 4 year. The average rep last a year at the company. Makes sense.

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.
