Pros

You get a paycheck. Awesome customer reps like RD in Chi. That guy is the coolest!

Cons

It's the worst freight company I have ever worked for. Nothing fair about it. Essentially XPO is lots of individual companies all working against one another and fighting with each other daily Completely insane.

Pros

Well, they did pay me. That's about it.

Cons

The only communication you receive from upper management is threats, punishment, and insults. Many of the supervisors are simply incapable of treating hourly employees with respect. Everyone hates the upper management staff and morale is rock-bottom. Horrible physical conditions. The site I work at is 70 years old, walls made of asbestos, with ancient insulation containing asbestos. The walls are disintegrating and the insulation tiles are falling down day by day and the safety engineer tells everyone it is safe. Workers are underpaid, underappreciated, and overworked. The scope of the job is unreal. I feel like I am doing the jobs of three people. It's mind-boggling. I am constantly interrupted and moved from one unfinished task to a new one only to leave it unfinished as well because of the poor planning and totally unrealistic staffing levels. Overall a horrible experience, I myself and every single one of my fellow hourly co-workers are looking to get away from this despicable company. Toxic environment both physically and mentally.Community Gu

No Advancement, No Incentives, Complete Joke.

Pros

Co-workers were fun to work with, laid back dress code, decent pay.

Cons

XPO Logistics has a bad reputation among customers and carriers, good luck landing any of them. Management is worthless, they don't care about their employees just making sure their numbers look good and the CEO is obsessed with inflating stock prices. There is NO incentive program for employees. The monthly "social" budget is a joke. You are promoted based on luck. You're performance is not considered whatsoever. You just need to be in the right place at the right time. You work 10 hour days, even if you are not in a supervisor position with no overtime pay. Not sure that is legal? They will think of every reason why you are not eligible for a raise or a bonus. The commission structure is another joke. They make it impossible to hit your numbers. There were never any formal reviews. They are submitted online but no one ever sat you down and talked with you. My manager gave me an outstanding review, but the COO sent it back to him, telling him it was "too generous" and it needed to be changed. Basically asking him to lie about my performance so they wouldn't have to give us raises. Positions are mainly stagnate with no career opportunities. Ironically, COO's and many HR representatives have left the company. Sounds kind of sketchy.
