Pros

At XPO (formerly Con-way Freight) -You can get a variety of experience. Working at several companies over the course of your career will enable you to learn a tremendous amount across diverse environments, which can broaden your knowledge and expertise. In my opinion, it takes at least 3-6 months to get fully immersed in a new position/company, so if you don’t spend enough time at each place to really learn the ropes, you will end up only scratching the surface and will be more of a dilettante than an expert.

Cons

–You get to really understand your company and your contributions to it. When you spend a significant amount of time at one place, you learn a lot about its corporate culture and history and become vested in its future success. When new staffers come in, they will look to you as a resource since you can share your deep knowledge with them, help them navigate the environment and learn the ropes. - When your colleagues and boss know and trust you, they tend to leave you alone. -You do not get feedback from your managers on how you are personally doing in your particular role. They don't tell you what you need to improve on/hardly ever give employee praise. So, in that being said it is hard to tell exactly where you stand with the company/how you are performing compared to your other colleagues. -The company needs to improve there training process. Everyone knows that some employees learn hands on and others learn by being properly trained. -As a former employee the communication was not the best. It seemed like supervisors/upper management had not a clue in what was going on with the restructure of the company.

Pros

Chance to meet interesting folks. Wonderful environment for talkative humans.

Cons

A bit of politics goes on inside. So moving up in position/salary can depend on your popularity, not work ethic.
