Pros

People are friendly (for the most part) Recently remodeled the headquarters and added free snacks, Starbucks and Redbull. Direct leader is extremely caring.

Cons

Performance expectations far exceed job description and pay. Talks about work/life balance but continues to add extra meetings and projects. Senior leadership seems to be more concerned with promoting themselves so they keep volunteering team for more projects in order to stay in the spotlight. Compensation is severely under market. Promotes internally in order to pay colleagues far less than an external hire. Lack of process and procedures. Inconsistent hiring practices Health benefits are expensive and are modeled after benefits from the 90s HR leadership (top-bottom) is comprised of mean girls. Extremely cliquish. Every hiring manager and every location have their own set of rules and processes, there is no unity or alignment Tries to force team member to work in office and then schedules virtual meetings (makes no sense) You are penalized for not “playing the game” and getting involved in all of the extra stuff - events, parties, etc Company promotes development but most leaders do not want to train or develop at all. They expect team members to need no training and stay in the role they were hired into.

Pros

You will meet some of the best people here and can learn the basics of being a freight broker if this is the career path you choose.

Cons

eadership is deeply ineffective and lacks even a basic understanding of how to run a successful business. There is a clear disconnect between management and the sales team, with decisions being made in a vacuum that ignore real operational and customer-facing challenges. While leadership claims to prioritize operations, execution is consistently poor and performance continues to decline. There is also a noticeable lack of accountability and consistency across the organization. Processes are not enforced equally, and favoritism impacts outcomes—particularly when it comes to freight handling. If you are not running TM freight, your shipments are treated as a lower priority and handled with significantly less care, which ultimately reflects poorly on both employees and the company as a whole. Overall, the environment is disorganized, leadership is out of touch, and there is little confidence that meaningful improvements will be made
