Pros

Released after buyout - none that I can tell

Cons

I was released after the Con-way buyout on 10/30/2015. For many months leading up to the buyout, XPO management, including the CEO, hosted town halls exclaiming that layoffs would not happen day one of the purchase - this was not the case. In one day on the Portland campus of what was Con-way, XPO decided to layoff around 200 employees that were told it would not happen like this. The CEO is not trustworthy. I'm lucky enough to have backup plans, but I fear others didn't have this luxury. At the end of the day, I'm happy to not work for a company as backhanded as XPO.

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
