Pros

Good systems. Get a trip to Charlotte NC for training. Good entry level sales job.

Cons

Low pay and poor commission compared to other companies. Systems have no information in them for Canada and not many people have knowledge about freight sales to help teach you. Sales numbers driven by USA so harder to hit numbers due to exchange. Procurement won't even try to find you a truck unless there is margin in it so very hard for new reps. This forces you to find your own truck but then are forced to split commission with procurement such a joke, Adding to the negative environment are internal work scandals that everyone gossips about. Very very poor team environment. Most reps that stay just grab other people accounts that left to inflate their numbers. Unfortunately talented sales reps don't realize when it is time to take your accounts to another company and make real money. Finally, based on CEO previous experience you can't help but wonder if the CEO cares more about inflating the stock value then anything else.

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
