Pros

They do technically offer health insurance.

Cons

The health insurance premiums doubled this year for severely worse level of coverage. They left us with one mediocre $2,000 PPO plan that is exorbitantly expensive for the level of coverage, forcing employees to choose the HSA that's basically like having no insurance at all! On top of that, they recently announced they're going to make employees accrue PTO, which is a scam so that employees can't take vacations in the first half of the year. So long spring break with the kids! Finally, the maternity leave at this company is bordering on sexist. 3 weeks for the mother and father! Really goes to show that despite the "Women in Logistics" events this company promotes, the actual company policies do nothing in the way of supporting women and actively discourages mothers from working for this logistics company. Really disappointing!! PS - the 401k match is a joke. Doesnt mean anything unless you're at the company for like 10 years. Crazy!

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.
