A very difficult place to work and stay in the long term, but great for the experience
Pros
--I was there about a year ago, and I know that many people have different experiences depending on how their broker treated them during training. Mine was ok most of the time, though sometimes he could be a bit harsh. But I don't go to a job to get more friends. --The training was very intense but highly informative. I learned a lot and I could tell that this company invests a lot in their new hires. I can't say that about every place I've worked -- While I learned that freight brokerage isn't for me, like probably 95% of everyone who has ever worked there, TQL looks awesome on a resume since it's very difficult to land a job there, and the fact that I was there for nearly 6 months has opened doors for me in the transportation field that would not have otherwise been available -- I learned that I'm good at being a logistics coordinator, and with my TQL 1 year non-compete agreement ending in about a month I'm looking forward to what's next
Cons
-- Very stressful job and long hours. Expect to be there 55-60 hours per week for much of your training period. There were a number of times when my brain was almost throbbing by the time they day was done, but like physical workout at the gym I was definitely putting my multitasking and negotiating skills to good use -- Freight brokerage can be a shady industry and it's an extremely difficult service to sell, especially since TQL is not an asset-based logistics company (meaning TQL doesn't have its own truck fleet)
