Pros

- The annual Christmas party is nice. -~5% bonus depending on performance - Benefits package - No to insurance premium out of packet

Cons

- They should focus less on throwing a huge Christmas party and more on fair compensation - They try to tell you they have a 401K plan, but you can’t even contribute your own money to it without company match until you’ve worked for 12 months - Take advantage of the highly skilled and educated with increased workload to make up for their extreme lack of ability to hire good talent - Operations manager is biased, the trend has been that they only promotes friends and family (spouse is a department manager in which they do they do not have enough experience for) and has done so without basis - They tried putting me down when I asked for more compensation by telling me I am too new and don’t have enough experience, left within the month for nearly twice the salary I was asking for. - They love to hire people with little/poor education (some employees struggle with simple math and accounting principles) and lack of skill and expect other employees to train them with no incentive. - If you have a bachelors from a non-profit 4 year University, avoid this place like the plague, the 2019/2020 job market is booming, go somewhere else and get paid more for your skill.

OEC Group offers our paid "Freight School" training to all new hires, no matter what experience level the employee may have since we hire both entry level and experienced candidates! The company provides a referral program so employees can recommend people they know since our people know great people. If the referral is hired after participating our engaging interview process, the referring employee will receive a total of $700 after their referral stays 6 months with OEC! We also provide salary adjustments or bonus opportunities each year based off the company and employee's performance!
