Pros

Literally the best place I have worked at. I can walk into the OWNER'S office and ask questions and he will give direct and honest feedback good or bad. The president will take hours out of his day to train and guide you. The negative reviews are from people who are were hard core millennials and expect everything to come easy and then blame others when they fail. They are good guys, but they have to know that it wasn't the job for them and can't blame it on others. Again, it is hard work and long hours; people do curse when mistakes are made or when they are stressed, they do have a beer, they celebrate together, and work as a team like none I've ever seen when a co-worker needs help.

Cons

It is stressful and the hours required are long. However, you are more than fairly compensated for this.

Pros

Good benefits are about the only thing.

Cons

Unrealistic expectations. Talking to management or HR does no good. College frat house atmosphere. They only want young college grads so they don't have to pay for experience and they can brain wash them to their ways. They set training and meetings but always cancel. You are just expected to know what they want without training or communication. Drivers hate dealing with them and customers complain about them. Watch your back and trust no one.

Thanks for your review. As a fast-growing company, Spot has gone through many changes. We are certainly not perfect. Many changes have been positive ones, including Spot's investment in our people and hiring a specialist to lead training efforts. I'd be happy to talk to you live about your experience while here at Spot. If you want just send me an email to set up a time to talk - humanresources@spotfreightinc.com
