Pros

Loyal employees and great location

Cons

If you like a high stress environment and work 80 hours a week, this is the place for you. Good projects but management doesn't know how to staff their projects nor treat their employees. You are always wearing multiple hats. On a single project, I've seen one person be a PM, BA, QA, Dev, UX, and Training because of understaffing, underperforming team members, and poor planning. They will overwork you and burn you out fast. Force you to work weekends, vacations, and holidays. Also, they underpay by 10-25%. It's only got worst with the XPO merger. Higher stress, cuts in health, and vacation benefits, no annual pay increases.

Pros

Great benefits and senior leadership has a goal to provide excellent service, competitive pay, and recognition for hard working team players, looking to put their best foot forward every day.

Cons

Can be stressful at times when working in logistics, but this is common in the industry and often more related to fluctuations in economic factors.

Pros

I have enjoyed my time with XPO and appreciate the opportunities the company has provided for both personal and professional growth. The team environment is supportive, and I've had the chance to build strong relationships with coworkers and customers over the years. One of the things I value most is that hard work and dedication are recognized. Every day brings new challenges, which keeps the job interesting and allows me to continue learning. Leadership encourages employees to find solutions and work together to provide excellent customer service. Like any large company, there are busy periods and opportunities for improvement, but overall, XPO offers a solid career path, competitive benefits, and the chance to make a real impact. If you're someone who enjoys a fast-paced environment and is willing to put in the effort, XPO can be a rewarding place to build a career.

Cons

The transportation industry is constantly changing, so employees need to be adaptable and able to handle shifting priorities. Workloads can be demanding at times, but the teamwork and customer relationships make it rewarding
