Pros

Support staff gets to work a set schedule and there is room for lots of overtime leading up to the holidays

Cons

This office operates completely different than all other offices and I only have experience with this office. This location resents being bought by XPO Logistics, refuses to change and is resistant to ANY change. Due to their need to hold onto their procedures and structures you are constantly dealing with work around processes in software, account management, accounting and customer service. Some of the employees even answer the phone with the former company name and they are resentful of the change. The office is a huge pen with multiple tables service different clients. There is no privacy or consideration that you are working and a constant paper ball fight occurs so my reflexes improved as I dodged objects flying through the air. The opportunities for advancement are from support, carrier sales to customer sales and that's all. No other p I will say that it's my understanding that other XPO Employees in other locations are quite happy with XPO and I have immense respect for Brad Jacobs but that Gainesville office needs to be addressed.

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.

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
