Pros

1) You can wear whatever you want. That's about it.

Cons

Where do I even begin? NTG was the absolute worst job I ever had. As a naive, recent college graduate I was so excited to begin my first "salary" job, however, that excitement quickly disappeared once I began working here. If you are looking for any form of slight professionalism where people are not screaming, having tantrums, making constant racist and misogynistic slurs then stay far away from NTG. As 1 out of 5 women in the office with over 80 employees, be prepared for sexist/flirtatious comments everyday. Senior brokers are treated like royalty and their inappropriate comments that were often heard by upper management would just be dismissed. There was an incident where one of my senior broker co-workers told me that "my butt looked amazing in those leggings" right in front of my GM and he completely ignored it. If you're an over-privileged, fratty white boy that loves degrading women and screwing people over this is the place for you. Be prepared to lose all of your moral working here...you are encouraged to lie and screw your customers and carriers over in order to profit. I had never been more depressed in my life working in this office and the moment I left I felt such a weight being lifted off my shoulders. And the former CEO Kevin Nolan? What a joke; I've never met a more incompetent, childish, creepy, former CEO in my life. There are rumors he stepped down as CEO due to harassing a young recruiter and bringing contraband onto a cruise ship. I could go on and on about how terrible this job is, but it's not worth all of the niddy-griddy details. And if someone from HR decides to respond to my comment with the same, repeated message they do for all of the other comments here on Glassdoor with, "The freight industry is a 24/7 business and you need to have tough skin to work here" is a downplayed excuse; my fellow co-workers and myself who all left NTG were extremely hardworking and dedicated. What separated us from the individuals who decided to stay at NTG is that we all knew we could land far better jobs that actually value their employees. Do yourself a favor and save yourself from this corrupt frat house company, I'm honestly so surprised they're still in business. There is a reason that there is an extremely high turnover rate.

Pros

The people make work easier and enjoyable.

Cons

Logistics is constantly changing. This is not a company issue, but you have to be prepared to stay on your toes and adjust on the fly in this industry.

Pros

NTG was a place where I thought I would be long term. Working in the Dallas office, I genuinely felt like I had found a home. I enjoyed everyone I met and the friendships I made along the way. The memories I made with my hiring class are ones I’ll never forget. I sincerely hope our paths cross again. I’d also like to thank my managers for their exceptional leadership. I truly gained valuable skills that I’ll carry with me into my next role. The same goes for everyone I met in NTG’s Austin office during my visit.

Cons

As for the companies decision, I have a lot of thoughts. From my perspective, this came down to numbers on a spreadsheet. What wasn’t seen was the work that many of us put in behind the scenes during a very difficult market, often working stale accounts that had little chance of converting because of past relationships and mistakes. I strongly disagree with the decision. That said, I can honestly say I gave this job everything I had and more. I left it all on the field, and I’ll always be proud of that. Despite how things ended, I’m grateful for my experience at NTG, the people I met, and everything I learned along the way. I’m excited to see what I can accomplish in my next role and where this next chapter takes me.
