Pros

Free lunches. Unlimited PTO. Big Promises

Cons

Lets be honest. The CEO hired 200+ employees to build the 2nd fastest growing freight brokerage in history, with many promises from the CEO that we will build the largest 3PL in the country. Every single one of these employees bought into the dream and worked very hard to make this happen. Turns out, it wasn't the CEO's plan the entire time. He let every person in the company go with 0 notice. I do not believe that I need to say much more.

Pros

Strong people and culture. Genuinely good colleagues, a collaborative environment, and a place where talented people want to do good work. After many years here, the quality of the people is the thing I'd point to first. Real mission and real product. The work matters — building technology that has a tangible safety impact in the physical world. That gives the work a sense of purpose that's hard to find elsewhere.

Cons

Leadership and organizational clarity could be stronger. As the company has grown, clearer direction, more consistent decision-making, and steadier organizational structure would help people do their best work. Uncertainty. Periods of structural and strategic change can create a sense of instability that's tiring over time, even for people who are otherwise very committed to the company.
