Pros

Great environment that's fast paced and is the pure definition of work hard play hard. This is a place where the company cares about the employees talents and does a good job to put you in a position to succeed.

Cons

Long hours and lunch at your desk, but that comes with the territory in this industry. Heavy favoritism. Training could be better.

Pros

Chances are, if you're reading this you are either just out of college, looking for your first real job, and/or have never been in the logistics industry (or you're HR at Redwood). From my experience at Redwood and the friends I've made in the industry, I see that Redwood is a unique experience. For what it is, it's a good start and a way to get your feet wet. Most of the people I worked with were the best part and I have made some great friendships that should last a long time. Working in this industry is not for everyone and the longer you stick with it the more it will challenge you. It's a great way to test the person you are and what you want to become.

Cons

Take what I say here with a grain of salt considering this is my viewpoint. While this is a good starting point as a career and overall experience there are some drawbacks. You will be under pressure to perform. Whether it's in an operational or sales role. This is ok though. Challenges can be good and this is a challenging industry for a number of reasons. From my experience though, if you have management that will impede you're ability to do this and my case as well, drive you to the point of tears, then you start to see some red flags. What I learned though from this, is to not take crap from anyone and don't work anywhere you're not willing to be fired. The level of disrespect that exuded from management and that I still hear about today is all the more ironic that "respect" is listed as one of their core values. I'm not saying avoid this place. My advice to anyone considering this place is this: if they're offering you a job get clear expectations of specifically what you will be doing. Get the hours you will be working and if there are anything outside of this that will be expected. Ask what they're expecting of you and what happens (and over what timeframe) if you exceed or fail to hit those expectations. Get these clear and hold them to it. If they can't convey this information then maybe consider this a red flag. Overall, if you consider yourself of a strong personality that can hold your own then you should be fine whether you stick with this place or not. I've still seen people that claim to have this and have faltered nonetheless. Just my advice. You can make of this as you will.

Pros

The people that work at Redwood are cool and easy to get along with which makes the daily grind easier. Redwood is a good place to get industry experience. The training for new employees is improving.

Cons

This is a desk job with potential for high stress and long hours (10 hour days on average). Redwood is a great place to work if you are just getting out of college and want some industry experience, however building a career here will be difficult to do if you are not one of the upper management favorites. There are a lot of hard working people at Redwood that are stuck in their current roles because they do not have the desired extrovert personality type for promotions.
