Pros

I've worked for England Logistics for over 5 years and have performed in a number of different capacities. As a company that has always enjoyed incredible growth rates despite economic conditions, and is just generally progressive in nature, the opportunities for professional growth are nearly unlimited. It seems weekly, but realistically more like monthly, announcements for new opportunities are circulated as divisions are expanding and adding new roles. Many, many individuals have cut their teeth on their first management positions at EL as a result of hard work, drive and ambition. Cross divisional transfers are also very common as employees spread their wings and learn about different divisions in the company ultimately enriching their knowledge and furthering promotion opportunities.

Cons

England Logistics isn't for you if you don't take pride in your work, aren't willing to come in and work hard every day, and embrace the support and guidance available and offered by your peers and supervisors. It can definitely be a tough place to work as the company is very metrics driven and always in touch with individual and overall performance. Success is celebrated and when things aren't going as well as planned, coaching and supporting is readily available.

Pros

There are some great opportunities to learn and grow in your career here. The company does a great job of hiring good people & working to foster a good culture. Those who bring value in their role will be rewarded with opportunities for advancement & progress. I was fortunate to be in a position that granted me exposure to executive leadership and be involved in many strategic initiatives. The senior leadership is excellent & most anyone who does not agree simply does not understand them or has not had enough time with that team to understand them. They know what is good for the business & have the employees and business at heart when steering the ship. This is a successful company. It feels good to be a apart of a company that can set and achieve worthy goals & this company does. In the 5 years I spent here there was consistent year over year growth even during difficult economic times. The growth creates opportunity & for those who prove themselves finding opportunities is matter of when, not if. Great coworkers means great relationships. This is one thing that most everyone who has spent time here will tell you...the people really are great.

Cons

Can be stressful and at times demand more than your ideal work/life balance situation would prefer. Depending on position/dept some managers are very demanding & hold that as a virtue which proves them to be hard working. While they may in fact be hardworking, they sometimes choose the wrong way to display it. Pay is not always competitive with market & that is sometimes acknowledged & accepted as a good thing, but employees will never see it as a good thing. It should be stated however, that those who create value for the company do get rewarded & will have opportunities for advancement in pay & responsibility. I think some don't get that far here because they aren't willing to begin in a place they feel is less than fair and as a result both the company & employee can loose out. With so much growth a lot of folks find themselves in middle management positions who may not truly have the experience in leadership they need. In some cases they may also lack the experience in their field. This can be frustrating & difficult for others, including other managers. E.L. does invest in training managers in leadership, but could do better Retention is a big area of need for improvement. This is acknowledged & a high area of focus, but a difficult problem to solve, particularly in a strong labor market. Even departments/teams with low turnover are affected by the churn.
