Empty Promises

Business Outlook

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.
