Pros

At XPO (formerly Con-way Freight) -You can get a variety of experience. Working at several companies over the course of your career will enable you to learn a tremendous amount across diverse environments, which can broaden your knowledge and expertise. In my opinion, it takes at least 3-6 months to get fully immersed in a new position/company, so if you don’t spend enough time at each place to really learn the ropes, you will end up only scratching the surface and will be more of a dilettante than an expert.

Cons

–You get to really understand your company and your contributions to it. When you spend a significant amount of time at one place, you learn a lot about its corporate culture and history and become vested in its future success. When new staffers come in, they will look to you as a resource since you can share your deep knowledge with them, help them navigate the environment and learn the ropes. - When your colleagues and boss know and trust you, they tend to leave you alone. -You do not get feedback from your managers on how you are personally doing in your particular role. They don't tell you what you need to improve on/hardly ever give employee praise. So, in that being said it is hard to tell exactly where you stand with the company/how you are performing compared to your other colleagues. -The company needs to improve there training process. Everyone knows that some employees learn hands on and others learn by being properly trained. -As a former employee the communication was not the best. It seemed like supervisors/upper management had not a clue in what was going on with the restructure of the company.

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
