Pros

The environment in the office is good sometimes with some very genuine people who want to help you grow

Cons

People bring a lot of negativity to the workplace sometimes. Corporate Trainer plays favorites. Everyone wants to be the new kid's boss. People from different/same offices often fight over who's account is who's. The health insurance is outrageously expensive and off the wall. There is not much growth after joining this company. Overall, to a fresh graduate, my message is that there are plenty of better opportunities out there, don't sell yourself short here.

Pros

Just wanted to let everyone know that Choptank Transport is an awesome place to work. The training you receive is top notch. Awesome people & company. Choptank is always giving back to their employees & community. They treat their employees with fairness, respect, kindness and like family, and to me that makes such a big difference. Totally recommend anyone to join this amazing company.

Cons

I really can't think of any.

Pros

goodish benefits commission on top of salary give away things like free ice cream just about once a month loads of free lunches cant speak highly enough about the director of sales Lloyd Thomas (he was the only person to actually help me succeed, and actually wanted me to)

Cons

-the worst management ive ever encountered -no support -expected to be on call 24/7, 365 days -i feel like people only stay because of how well they pay people who have no college degree and otherwise would be servers struggling to make ends meet. -have heard its, "where servers go to die" -found that i only wanted to work with a few people when it came to sourcing trucks for my customers because I found most of them either cant handle their work load or just are incompetent. -a real "drink the kool aid" or die place -made me lie to customers all the time (despite hiring me because I am an honest person who cant lie) do i really need to keep going? I quit without notice because I couldnt mentally take another two weeks without serious mental breakdowns (i.e panic attacks, etc). I understand the allure, I fell for it as well. But trust us people who are not giving them 5 stars. We didnt drink the kool aid. We also didn't have someone in the company tell us to write a review to "boost" their star ratings....

Pros

Only good reason to work here is that they accept anyone and everyone so applying youll most likely get atleast an interview.

Cons

They do not put out their turnover rate because it is so high. They bring you in to train you for carrier sales even though you are an inside sales rep. The training only consists of you calling and maybe a 10 min powerpoint and like 4 days of calling. While the previous 3 weeks of training were spent on carrier sales training. They do not have any scripts to help you out but merely say to create your own so in reality their whole training is you training yourself through repetition. So hopefully you only repeat the good from the start. They claim to help you build your book of business but all that consist of is you calling people from others who have quit. So you are being fed what is mostly ungrowable accounts with the mere chance you will get one good one in a billion tries.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about your time at Choptank. I’m sorry you did not have a positive experience during your time here and it’s true that working in sales isn’t for everyone. Related to your comments about training, we are working hard to expand our training for inside sales reps. While it can seem strange for an inside sales training program to focus the first 3 weeks of onboarding on the carrier sales function, we do this because it’s very important for an inside sales rep to understand the service we provide in order to effectively sell it. Selling a service as variable as ours is much different than selling a product. Our new reps have been very successful this year, but we can always get better. Thanks again for leaving this review and we wish you the best in your career.

Management is terrible. Since HUB Group took over everything has changed and they don't care about the employees.

Pros

Great way to learn the work, when they let you

Cons

rampant unhealthy behaviors, instead of letting you grow, they throw work from other people and departments on you, if you get pregnant, they drive you to suicidal ideation
