Pros

Flexible Schedule and I had a company truck but not all operations managers get them. I had an extended market so it was necessary.

Cons

The company is a 3rd pay logistics provider of large goods such as furniture and appliances. They only hire contract carriers to do the deliveries which are no employees and are harder to manage. The company expects these poor guys to work 12-13 hr days and only make pennies. Most contractors end up going into the negative due to low pay. No matter what the company makes its money and the man doing the work doesn't. And its the job of the Operations manager to sell this crap job to contractors. The company fires back by saying it the operations managers job to make it profitable for the contractor but that is next to impossible when then most they can make is $350-$450 per day minus truck cost, insurance, fuel, taxes, employees ect.

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
