Pros

Casual environment. Fun, young group of colleagues.

Cons

Long hour days that can be quite stressful. No flexibility; lots of micro-managing goes on here. Days start early and most people work through lunch at their desks. Salary starts very low but can improve with a full commitment to work 10-11 hour days every day + being available 24 hours/day. Benefits and vacation are mediocre. Frat house type environment and volume level, which seems fun at first.. If you work here, it takes several (3+) years to be considered for a 'management' roll (if you befriend the right people). This position is not something to be envious of and the the ceiling is low. This is a good first job for a college graduate but no one makes it past lower management. Basically you have to work very hard and work long hours to earn a decent wage. Employees are responsible for dealing with issues after hours and on weekends. Every decision that's made has to be approved by a superior, thus fostering an environment in which flexibility is very minimal. This applies to lunch breaks, when you can go home, how long you can step away from your desk, etc.. Make no mistake, this is a high stress environment that is not suited for everyone.

Pros

Redwood has a great culture with a number of opportunities for internal growth. They have a unique business offering to a robust industry that sets them apart from competitors. You feel supported by your peers and leaders. Leadership is not afraid to help, teach and back up their teams, no matter the task.

Cons

The logistics industry, and Redwood’s role within it, is fast-paced and dynamic, offering employees the opportunity to build strong organizational and relationship-management skills. Success in this environment requires staying proactive, adaptable, and responsive to client needs. At times, client demands can be urgent and may extend beyond standard business hours, including evenings or weekends. While this can be challenging, it also provides an opportunity to demonstrate commitment, problem-solving, and a high level of service. Given the transactional nature of the industry, the effort invested may not always feel immediately reciprocated. However, this is a common aspect of working in a brokerage environment and can ultimately lead to long-term relationship building, professional growth, and a deeper understanding of the business.
