Pros
XPO is creating a strong name brand and has the ability to provide customers with end-to-end services.
Cons
- There are significant acquisition pains that has frustrated customers and employees. - Core values are just words and do not align to managements' behaviors/actions. - It's ALL about money and the culture is cut throat. XPO is basically ran by a private equity team. - Even the most basic decisions have to go through upper-management, yet a core value is to be "Entrepreneurial" - The non-competes are an absolute joke in how restrictive they are and people with talent are walking out the door because of it. Yet, XPO continues to say "We love our employees." Actions > Words. - XPO is building a great 5-year company, but a terrible 15-year company. - Communication from the top is abysmal. It's always positive, always. This is despite customers leaving, bonuses being cut, and talent leaving in droves. It lacks any substance and the front-line people know it. - And the chants...forcing grown adults to chant "We Love XPO!" (while being filmed) feels more akin to a cult than a professional logistics organization. - The amount of frivolous lawsuits XPO has open is astounding. They try to bully individuals/competitors into submission and you constantly have to watch your back. - Every division is given numbers they have to hit, and with the cut-throat culture, divisions are actively trying to thwart customer needs and company-wide success in order to hit them. Not sustainable.
