Pros

There honestly aren't any pros. I guess if I am forced to 20 words minimum I can say that it is a job. A very poor paying job, but a job none the less.

Cons

I really wish there was an option for a negative star. This is by far the worst ran company I have ever been a part of. Upper management could care less about you as a person. You are a body in a chair. For a company this size, they really operate like a small start-up company. Don't take a job with them. I promise you that it will not be what they say it is, and you will regret it.

R2 Logistics is on pace to be a 100 million dollar company after only eight years of business! As we’ve grown, and added new offices, promotions have only come from within the company and given employees new opportunities. The company also issues monthly awards with bonuses for those who are excelling in their positions.

Pros

I left a Fortune 500 logistics company to come to R2 Logistics. I'm thankful everyday I decided to take the leap. The opportunity I was given when I walked through the door, was more than anyone who has ever had a "real job" could imagine. Hours (which in brokerage are a lot), efforts (lots of multi-tasking) and results (everything is very transparent at R2) that have been achieved by my teams and myself have resulted in promotions and compensation increases for myself and my teammates. This is the last job I ever want to have and can't imagine doing anything else.

Cons

There are no cons to working here. It's a place to make your career.

Pros

8 hours of thorough training right into a "jack of all traits" position helped with my adjustment to new surroundings. Management has strong skill set in "do or die" motivation tactics. CEO and VPs promote a glass door view into the the companies profitability by sending out daily reports on their success. Commission makes a huge difference when you get to the 1 year mark, I was content with the annual salary of $31,000 because of the great benefits but the .005% commission really made the difference for me. The night phones once a week and once a month mandatory weekend appearance definitely helped me manage my time and learn how to perform on little hours of sleep

Cons

Some of the language used in the office I did not care for, definitely not a work atmosphere for the weary. Management consist of a close group of buddies who have built a solid business model on the false hope that there is life after being a pod leader or branch manager. HR seems to be all over the reviews here so I am curious as to how a company can encourage its employees to write positive reviews and HR can fill out ones for workers who are "too busy" ? Promotions consist of taking on more responsibility for a little pay increase, which I understand is typical in most promotions, but then putting it on your shoulders to pay the hungry eyes that assist in your pods operations is just mean. Turn over is high but the transportation industry in its own right has above average turnover. It is a great place to start out but a future is not here and its the truth. Any advancement is based on your relationship with the CEO and VP which is hard to do when they only came to our office to point out the negatives.
