Pros

Extremely accessible commission structure. Base pay starting out isn't as high as some of their competitors, but there is no threshold for commissions. You get a percentage of the profit on every transaction (percentage increases as profit increases) and once you break 15,000 for the month, you also get a percentage on gross profit (again, percentage increases as profit increases). Legitimately care about their employees and upper management remains accessible for any questions, advice, or concerns that may arises. Extremely professional work environment, while maintaining a relaxed, caring, and friendly company culture. Rapidly expanding so there are lots of opportunities for advancement. Benefits kick in after 30 days, including 14 days of PTO, which is far better than their competitors. Also, they have the same 6 basic holidays as their competitors, but they also have black Friday off and Christmas eve and new years eve are half days. Very flexible with taking time off. Their CRM and proprietary software is fantastic and significantly superior to the industry standards.

Cons

Work / social life balance is terrible. Technically a 24/7/365 position so a lot of prospecting and some client management has to take place at home. It's a simple job, but not an easy one. It takes a lot of effort and persistence to build up your book of business, but the rewards are significant. If you're not willing to put in the extra time outside the office, make 100+ cold calls a day, or hear no a lot, then this is not a job for you.

Pros

I have enjoyed my time with XPO and appreciate the opportunities the company has provided for both personal and professional growth. The team environment is supportive, and I've had the chance to build strong relationships with coworkers and customers over the years. One of the things I value most is that hard work and dedication are recognized. Every day brings new challenges, which keeps the job interesting and allows me to continue learning. Leadership encourages employees to find solutions and work together to provide excellent customer service. Like any large company, there are busy periods and opportunities for improvement, but overall, XPO offers a solid career path, competitive benefits, and the chance to make a real impact. If you're someone who enjoys a fast-paced environment and is willing to put in the effort, XPO can be a rewarding place to build a career.

Cons

The transportation industry is constantly changing, so employees need to be adaptable and able to handle shifting priorities. Workloads can be demanding at times, but the teamwork and customer relationships make it rewarding
