Pros

4 days of work (stressful) then 4 days off (to forget about it and relax). Always know in advance what days you are working, as 4 day pattern repeats. Long shifts of 12 hours, 6pm - 6am or 6am - 6pm. Lots to learn which makes them/you want to stay. Night shift and day shift available, running every single day apart from Christmas Day. Opportunity to develop language skills as most colleagues are from across Europe. Team comraiderie and spirit.

Cons

Management targets are high, money is their motive, sometimes (often) forgetting that staff are human. However I think this is the same with most jobs that it depends what location you are with which management team. The money is pretty much minimum wage, and should be more for the amount of work/ responsibility/ pressure.

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
