Don't Waste Your Time At R2 Logistics

Pros

The office is very large, nice, and new. It is also very empty due to the lack of employees, there is plenty of room to bounce a ball off the wall and pace around while on your headset though. Often times when the VPs from Dallas come to your office, they buy the office lunch in hopes that you all feel obligated to stay and work the hour you have for lunch, instead of leaving for it that day. The VPs also come up with new ways to do things weekly or monthly, so if you dislike a way you are told to do something, no fear, it'll change soon! When it changes, it really changes, it's like they forgot how they had you do something previously. You can listen to whatever music you want, as loud as you want. No radio edit music here, let the expletives fly, it gets you fired up to make money! Motivational emails are sent daily, sometimes hourly, to remind you to take the food from the competition's mouths'. There are also emails that are sent to tell you when you are performing poorly, never when you are doing well. You wouldn't want to send emails out to your employees when they do something well, that would just give them big heads and give them a reason to want to continue to do well. You have to constantly remind them when they mess up so that they feel like a failure and begin to hate their job. Also, the trick about those emails is to never tell them the steps or give them tips on how to do better, it's just to make sure they know they messed up. There is no point in learning how to do something better when at R2 Logistics.

Cons

There are too many cons to list them all. If you value a work/life balance, do not seek employment here. If you value not being discriminated against, do no seek employment here. If you want the work you do to be valued, do not seek employment here. If you are a person of color or a female, you will most likely be the only one in your office.

We celebrate our employees and all their hard work by planning quarterly team building events. This is just one way our employees are thanked among many others; which includes free lunches.

Pros

I enjoyed working with the people and it could be a very fun place at times. If the VP's feel that your branch is doing a good job, they will buy lunch for you. If you like to drink, they offer happy hour on Fridays. You learn a lot about the industry. Good for Job people coming right out of college. Loved the manager and some of the VP'S I worked with.

Cons

This is a starter job. You use them for experience and they work you like a dog (depending on accounts you are in). Felt bad for some of the upper management at times because majority of the time they are getting constant emails and calls about things they really couldn't control. If you're not the most organized person, you will not have a balanced life when you work there. I wasn't the biggest fan of happy hours due to people's motivation once they start drinking. The pay was more when I worked there but still wasnt enough. All and all it was a job.... It wasn't a career for me but I am very thankful for everything I learn from them (including about myself).

Pros

They offer free drinks, coffee and trail mix. Heath insurance is a plus but you have to wait 3 months to get it. The only other positive is when you leave to go home.

Cons

Company pays you the lowest amount possible and expects you to work overtime with no incentive pay. The workload is very unorganized and management puts unfair expectations on answering all the mass phone calls and emails. Say good bye to a personal life because management constantly makes it difficult to take vacation time off.

At R2 Logistics we offer a competitive salary among the transportation industry leaders. In addition, we offer an uncapped commission structure for employees who make sales with new customers. The only time vacation may not be granted is around the holidays when everyone requests the same days off and we still need people to work. However, if you're willing to work with your manager they are more than happy to work with you.
