Pros

Steady paycheck with decent pay considering the state of the economy.

Cons

I feel the most important asset to a company, after their people, is their reputation; what the average customer would say about you. Ethics should be #1. Unfortunately, the longer I was there, I saw good ethics being thrown right out the door. I was shocked and appalled, especially with all the lip service Globaltranz gives about their high ethics and their dedication to helping their franchises and corporate staff be sucessful. Management is completely disrespectful to employees. It is customary for Senior Management to drop F bombs on a daily basis. Fear is imposed by Senior Management to subordonites about other members of Senior Management. If your not family or part of inner circle you are treated as an outsider. "Friends and Family" is a saying and not a way to run a company. The things that makes me most angry is the disregard to human beings: both customers and certain people in the corporate office. It all boils down to numbers and profit. While I realize companies are in business to make money, the amount of profit this institution generates is mind boggling yet I saw repeat offenders get promoted while others who never got in trouble be fired. Nothing else matters...customer service, being kind to other employees, working hard, intelligent recommendations...NONE of it matters except their numbers. They talk a good game about people being their competitive advantage, but after you begin working there, you will see the truth.... YOU are disposable and if you cross the wrong person on the wrong day you are out of there. Initially you are told this is a company of high integrity however once you have been there awhile you see there is no truth to this statement. Health benefits are substandard, there is no retirement plan, no bonus plan and very few holidays.

Fratlike atmosphere

Pros

The atmosphere is that of a frat-house. They try to maintain an always positive atmosphere rather than realistic. Good pay.

Cons

Not a great place if you don't fit in. Questionable business practices. You will live and die in this company based on your personality.

Pros

they have a nice office building in phoenix. They throw a semi decent convention every year, but i don't know if those will continue.

Cons

as and agent owner for about 5 years I have witnessed this companies evolution. Unfortunately it has gone down hill fast. Extreme turnover at all levels especially the executive level. The corporate office does little to support its field agents as they have launched an inside sales force. this inside sales department constantly solicits my clients. So now i am competing with my own company. These new inside sales reps have little to now experience and make us in the field look very bad. Their new Truckload department is a joke and I have ceased selling truckload services to my clients. When i do call in to the truckload department it sounds like a frat party is going on. loud music and noise in the back ground. It is extremely un professional and i've had to apologize to my clients several times because they state they can cover the load only to leave my clients high and dry with no trucks on the day they said they would have them. They have had at least 4 different presidents in the past two years. Not a good thing. They constantly work on new technology and launch it when it does fully work. Since their former Support manager left, myself and my clients are experiencing horrible hold times and extremely poor customer service. Their Supply chain is a joke and i don't bother selling that to my clients either.
