Pros

It's an amazing environment to work in. There is a sense of family and very helpful environment. Managers are always available to help on the phones and coach you through obstacles. It's the kind of place the owner will invite you to a Blackhawks game or give you a direct message of the great effort you are putting in.

Cons

It's an up tempo environment that isn't for everyone. I had no issues, only leaving to be closer to family, but if you don't enjoy an open and fast paced work environment, it may not be for you. There's also a lot of roles to juggle in a single position. So someone not who lacks time management and multitasking might want to look for a role elsewhere.

Pros

high energy, many young people, looks like new reps can advance/make money fairly quickly. was told nine months to one year to commission, but on pace after four months. management is always available, "redwood games' at the beach were great

Cons

heavy workload, and some days are tough, most reps are good with this though as this is part of the business

Pros

Long Hours without Overtime pay. Service failures with no repercussions. Carrier reps decide when and what freight they will work on. Upper Management sits and barks orders while ops, carrier reps, and sales reps do the grunt work. Upper management just keeps accounts to create house accounts and fill in the rest.

Cons

National Account Manager - base pay 35 / 40K based on experience. Your goal is to make a minimum of 10K in profits a month. If you do not meet this # in 4-6 months you will be terminated. (This position also requires that you be a telephone beast) If you think 10K is bad - just wait until you go on commission. 20% / 15% 8 % = commission. Ask Upper management or your manager about these 3 numbers and wait for their response. These people are losers and real life thieves Take a look and read the other 36 reviews here -- they are all pretty consistent. Long hours / crap pay / and just overall blah blah something negative/ so very few positive reviews (must be coming from directors and branch managers or the interns lol ) No Sales rep or employee for that matter should have to justify losing commission percentage by more than half?! If anything you would think it would go higher. Lol 20 / 15 / 8 ? And the hilarious thing is that they will take time to explain why it should be this way -- When all they have to say is, " Hey, we upper management are keeping all the profits for ourselves while we make the 40K a year employee's do all the work. " This company is by far the most shady grady that I have seen. Please do not take this review as a bitter, jealous, disgruntled former employee. I was an animal when i worked here. A top performer for this place. I've seen many other top performers leave as well and more will continue. Take this review as truth and just know what you are getting into.

Thank you for your feedback. Transparency for employees' goals, schedule, and compensation structure is very important to us. However there are some inaccuracies reflected in your review. We wish that we had an opportunity to talk through your concerns more when you were still employed here. While we are disappointed that you did not enjoy your experience with Redwood, we hope you find success in future endeavors.
