Pros

the sales staff people who work there are great. the free gym downstairs is awesome!

Cons

Management is a awful. They have a simple business model, hire 30 recent college grads a month, train them for a month, burn them out 3 months later, fire 90% of the class and give the other 10% any accounts closed. The management teams wants carriers and sales reps to get along but at any chance they get pin them against each other. You will not get promoted as they only promote from outside and they are friends of the management. Management gives you false promises in the interview all the way till the month before you are fired. When I was there they sat in a conference room right next to the sales floor and went through every single person to be fired and would step outside and scan the office for anyone they forgot

Pros

Support staff gets to work a set schedule and there is room for lots of overtime leading up to the holidays

Cons

This office operates completely different than all other offices and I only have experience with this office. This location resents being bought by XPO Logistics, refuses to change and is resistant to ANY change. Due to their need to hold onto their procedures and structures you are constantly dealing with work around processes in software, account management, accounting and customer service. Some of the employees even answer the phone with the former company name and they are resentful of the change. The office is a huge pen with multiple tables service different clients. There is no privacy or consideration that you are working and a constant paper ball fight occurs so my reflexes improved as I dodged objects flying through the air. The opportunities for advancement are from support, carrier sales to customer sales and that's all. No other p I will say that it's my understanding that other XPO Employees in other locations are quite happy with XPO and I have immense respect for Brad Jacobs but that Gainesville office needs to be addressed.

Pros

- Fast paced work environment with some really great people to work with on the Infrastructure team. - Time goes quick because there is never enough time to even think about how fast your day is going by.

Cons

- Work life balance is essentially non-existent. - More travel than anyone will initially lead you to believe (although it was getting better) - Senior management team is ONLY concerned with the bottom line. - Senior management team is focused on building up to sell like all of the CEO's other big ventures - No career development opportunities (training, certifications)
