Pros

Great people at the company

Cons

Leadership was incompetant. Hired way too fast and then suddenly let half the company go with zero notice, some of whom had moved across the country for the job.

Thank you for your honest perspective and review. Since that difficult course correction, we were forced to make several years ago, we have made a commitment to bring on new leadership within the company and have also completed a Series B round of significant funding. We believe both items will lead to a more consistent and stable growth model. To that end, we are constantly striving to improve our operations, developing best in class technologies and hiring the best people from within our industries to help us reach our goal of being the definitive leader in local logistics. We would like to invite you to talk with us privately about your concerns to make sure they are fully addressed and to ensure you are aware of our road-map and future growth forecasts. Sincerely, Ilya Bolotin Director, Human Resources

Pros

Pros, they pay higher than industry average for sure.

Cons

Cons, this company is a clown show. It will never be successful under the current leadership of Rich Gerstein. They fail constantly at hiring people. They do not pay their third party drivers. Their cash flow is clearly an issue. They cannot retain employees. Do yourself a favor and do not come here to work.
