Pros

I was able to work from home whenever I needed to. They basically let me own my work completely and do what I felt was needed to get to the final goal without interference.

Cons

"Without interference" also includes without any apparent interest from anyone in the value of my contribution, despite continually saying how important it was. After taking on not only the work of the vacated position I was hired to fill, but also rolling in the the work of two consultants who were let go not long after I started, I managed to not only keep the project from imploding completely but stabilized it, made it extensible, and made it into a platform for delivering value to the company. I felt more than justified in asking for a raise, but was turned down with a comment about not seeing a "return on investment". Somehow, stonewalling for two years on expanding the team beyond just me (when the scope of work easily would have occupied 4+ people from the very beginning) even after saving them the cost of two consultants is viewed by this company as an "investment". Thanks, you can keep your investments. All things considered, they seem to operate from a mindset of doing as little as possible for their employees -- for example, they only pay out PTO at termination if legally required to by the state the employee works in. My manager spoke with me just one single time after I gave my notice, despite talk of a transition plan to make sure I left as much knowledge behind as possible. And I feel like I really did ... but honestly, who cares? Not them.

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
