Pros

XPO carrier procurement representative is a good job for those who like high pressure sales. Expect to be aggressively selling on the phone for long periods of time. Get to relax and come and go when you please as long as you make your numbers (this was less true by the end as they tried to make it (7-4ish)).

Cons

Carrier reps managers are very poorly trained and therefore carrier reps are just as just as poorly trained. The regular mergers mean that everything from salary, benefits, sales rules and operation change frequently making it very difficult to keep rules consistent and equitable. The overlapping and constantly changing rules allows for such chaos within the system. XPO is a company expanding way too fast and therefore the many merged departments don’t collaborate or work well together. Fights between what used to be different companies run rampant through out this organization. There poor management instead of motivating employee they actually demotivate them to work and actually unfairly steal sales away from employees.

Pros

This company has a great vision. They really want to be the leaders in the logistics industry. They really have a focus on IT driving the need to move their company forward.

Cons

They do not do work-life balance well. Several meetings with upper management happen after 6:00 PM. The CEO works a ton and expects the same level of work from his employees. They are expanding by buying companies, but do not have the infrastructure to support their purchases. They do not have the hardware or the IT personnel to support the staff they are acquiring. Since these IT guys are overworked, they are leaving in droves, which accentuates the problem. They buy companies and then lay off their staff--especially in the infrastructure and accounting arenas. If they do not lay you off, they ask you to move to their headquarters in Charlotte, NC. Unfortunately, it is usually without any incentive to do so except to keep your job. Moving expenses are small and laughable at best.
