Pros

I came from 10 years as a manager in the hospitality industry and I am very pleased to find XPO. I can still maintain my connection to hospitality, but from a Logistics/SCM standpoint. Honestly, cold calling sucks, but that's how I develop my business. If I created my own company, I would do the exact same practice (at least in principle) to grow my company so...it is what it is. The major pros that I've found so far: -The atmosphere in Reno definitely keeps me energized -Developing Business Development skills/strategies -Developing trust in others and teamwork skill -Learning what win/win business practices look like -Seeing that my financial goals are realistic and not a "pie in the sky" promise -I can create the business that suits me and I am challenged as I learn a new industry.

Cons

Cons: -Cold calling sucks -Managing a process I cannot see or organize is tough -Money will come, but takes a while to generate (although my boss does set me up for success the best they can) -Business Development = Sales. If you do not want to sell, do not fool yourself (see Con #1)

Pros

Great benefits and senior leadership has a goal to provide excellent service, competitive pay, and recognition for hard working team players, looking to put their best foot forward every day.

Cons

Can be stressful at times when working in logistics, but this is common in the industry and often more related to fluctuations in economic factors.

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
