Pros

- Casual attire is permitted for employees in Inside Sales Division - Office is next door to Top Golf and Talking Stick Casino - I gave this 2 stars instead of 1 due to the fact that GlobalTranz used to be an amazing place to work prior to 2016.

Cons

First off, if you look at the above pictures of GlobalTranz, you will notice 9 employees. Only 1 of these 9 employees is currently employed at GlobalTranz. The other 8 have either voluntarily resigned or have been let go which clearly illustrates the degree of high turnover at this company. GlobalTranz was once very enjoyable to work for. The company was growing very rapidly, morale was high, employees were fairly compensated, management provided clear and direct vision for members of their teams, and there were several opportunities for advancement. To say that the former has taken a complete 180, would be an understatement to say the least. Since a new CEO has been appointed there have been several abrupt changes within GlobalTranz. Although very important, the EBITDA line item has been marked as the only area of significance on the company's balance sheet. This has resulted in substantial pay cuts in a majority of departments within the company. Some employees have experienced up to a 40% pay cut from the prior fiscal year, and are being asked of more now than ever before. This has resulted in several disgruntled and unmotivated employees in various departments, particularly the sales side. SIXTY PERCENT of the sales management staff resigned and/or was terminated, which then led to the Director of Sales voluntarily resigning. This turmoil has bled down to the rep level and has affected morale, which in turn would leave many to believe that the result would be stagnant growth. However, it has been worse and in turn has resulted in a declination of growth from both a Revenue and GP standpoint. This decline has prevented any opportunities for advancement anywhere within the company since the start of 2016. The decline has led to the company avoiding hiring any new sales or operations training classes all together. Before the board decided to lay off 60 employees within Enterprise, Operations, and Sales, the company then rescinded every offer letter sent out to prospective employees who completed and passed the interview process. This goes against general business ethics as several of these prospective employees who received offer letters from GlobalTranz already quit and/or put in their two weeks at their current/former employer. A handful of top sales reps have decided to leave despite making 6k-12k monthly commission checks on top of their 40k base salary (109.2k - 181k per year). How is that even possible to want to walk away from that type of money when you're under 30 years old and making well above the average that someone else in the industry would be making? The answer? It's gotten that BAD!

Pros

Working at GlobalTranz was a great experience; they have a company culture that is hard to find anywhere else. The Traffic Analyst position was a great opportunity to learn not only about the freight industry, but also about pricing and business practices in general. I learned more in the 8 months I worked at GlobalTranz than what I learned during my 4 years in college. The work was challenging, and it gave me an opportunity to employ my analytical skill-set as opposed to working a mundane, mindless job. As a Traffic Analyst, I worked in the Pricing Department which is one of the (relatively) smaller departments in the company. The intimate team size allowed me to see my individual impact on the company as a whole and to form strong camaraderie with the other members of the department. However, with the smaller team size comes great responsibility. Glass Door reviews are sometimes less informative than one would like, because the experience one has is very dependent on the people/management one worked with. I could not have asked for a better department. My co-workers were great to work with, and management gave me the autonomy to discover new (and better) ways to do things without micromanaging. -Work Life Balance -Good Pay, Bonus Incentive -Relaxed Company Culture -Benefits: Heath Insurance, 401K, Dental, Vision -Standard Hours -Autonomy and Good Management

Cons

There are certainly opportunities for growth; however, the path to achieve this growth could be more explicitly outlined. My tenure at GlobalTranz was relatively short, and they discussed with me opportunities for growth; however, a more detailed explanation for how to achieve this growth would have been helpful.
