Pros

Received a paycheck every week. Benefits were okay. No work/life balance. If you are an exempt employee, you have to work through your vacation. There is no one to back you up completely for you to take the time off. The recruiters will tell you there are a lot of opportunities for advancement/promotions. In reality, there is very limited advancement opportunities for employees. Management would rather hire outside the company than promote from within - especially for leadership positions.

Cons

Poor communication was a trend, and no one cared. All of our bonus' were taken away in 2017, and most of the employees did not find out until the Spring of 2017, when they asked their managers when they would be receiving their bonus money. PTO....we were not supposed to lose any PTO in 2017. The policies between Menlo and XPO were going to be combined, but at the last minute they changed the policy, and it was not to the employees benefit. There are way too many Managers, Directors, Executive Directors, VPs, and SVPs - but, all of those folks get the bonus money that was once distributed to all...now, just a select few. Management is not trustworthy, and have personal relationships with other members of the team outside of work. I worked in HR, and there was no one I could go to who I could trust with this information. And, those managers I did trust, they couldn't do anything anyway because it was the XPO Management in High Pointe, who were running the show, and it was their way or the high way.

Pros

Pay and benefits were good

Cons

Hired, moved from California FOR THE JOB, was laid off after two weeks and then told that at least I had family in the area to support me....which I didn't. People keep sleeping bags under their desks for the long hours. HQ staff are very unfriendly, one actually laughed after I was told that I was being laid off. Very poor management. Team was unsupportive. I was given a number of significantly large tasks to complete, including a full debrief of the last two years of press coverage. As soon as I completed the project, going through two weeks of data at a time because this is all the system would allow, and after creating a full report with suggestions for improvement and more, I was told there wasn't enough work and that I was being laid off. 2 weeks there and I was working 10+ hour days, how is that "not enough work?" Executives were very rude and if you leave before 7 pm or arrive after 8am people will look at you as though you're lazy.

Pros

None, its all a fake

Cons

If you are an African American or any other person of color XPO Logistics is not a good fit for you. There are offices all over North American and they don't have ANY diversity in leadership. Most of the African Americans are in lower level entry positions. I even brought up the topic of diversity to the CEO and it wasn't taken seriously at all. They send e-mails asking people to put up good reviews on Glass Door, they rarely hire from within, too many people are related so people are given positions. Its the good ole boy network, managers don't lead their teams because they are too busy keeping their own book of business. This place is a revolving door for Sales people, most of them hate it there. They don't coach people, they would rather just fire them. The Atmosphere is awful, there is no culture. Most of the positive feedback you see on here has been written my the Talent team. VP's and directors are leaving left and right and HR support positions left . Bottom line there is no growth for women or people of color.
