Pros

Ally Logistics is a mid tier freight brokerage pretending to be at the forefront of the industry. This company lacks tech, effective management and trust.

Cons

if this is you first job in corporate America STAY AWAY FROM ALLY LOGISTICS. This company loves to prey on fresh college grads that are oblivious to how a corporate entity operates and the politics that follow. They demoralize fresh talent and totally manipulate new hire and fill them with false promises. Management is on a whole other level of messed up. If your not in the club at Ally then you my as well quit. Managers only promote people they go out with or establish "fake" relationships with outside of the office. They don't promote you based of skill but rather your social attributes outside of work . Truly sad that they have managers that would hurt the company like this in the long run. And the best part the owners, dont believe a single word the owners say. these guys are total B.S. they promote how against non competes they are then fill there no solicit form with non compete language . " READ YOUR DOCUMENTS" and don't let these bottom of the industry clowns fool you. If you are a smart individual in this industry you should steer clear of this company.

Ally Logistics Response

We’re sorry to hear that your experience as an Ally employee did not meet your expectations. We do our best to set clear expectations upfront in the interview process, ensuring prospective employees are clear with not only their individual role expectations, but that we’re also as transparent as possible about Ally’s values and philosophies. This is a fast-paced, often challenging industry, but we work hard to ensure our employees are supported and empowered regardless. We believe that, so far, this approach has worked well for us, given our 94% retention rate. Unfortunately, without context or specifics we’re unable to directly respond to your comment regarding “demoralizing fresh talent and manipulating new hires”, however, we rebuilt our training program within the last few years in an effort to set all new hires up for success – regardless of age or experience. This includes an intensive three-week training program, the opportunity to shadow and speak with current team members frequently, and continued support and training for the weeks and months to follow. Additionally, our HR team coordinates 3, 6, and 12 month check-ins with all new hires, giving them an opportunity to share any issues or concerns and check in on how they are feeling in their role. If you ever felt the way you described above while in your role, we surely hope you brought it to someone’s attention during your tenure. Additionally, we continue to welcome feedback even though you are no longer with the organization – feel free to email hr@allylogistics.com at any time. In regards to your comment about promotions, those are given out based on skill, experience, and dedication to the role. We would never promote someone that we don’t believe is the right fit for that role, as that ultimately would be a detriment to our overall success as an organization. In regards to your comment about non-compete and non-solicit language, we’ve have publicly made it clear that we do not hand out or enforce non-compete agreements, but we do believe that non-solicits are a natural part of business and we do enforce them for some roles. We strongly believe that you should be legally allowed to seek employment at any other company should you choose to leave Ally Logistics, however taking company information while doing so becomes a separate, ethical issue. We apologize if any expectations were unclear for your role when you joined the team. We appreciate this review, as we will take this information and continue to work to ensure that expectations are clear starting at the interview process and beyond.

Have been in the industry fore awhile now and really commend our team for their innovation and collaboration during the tough market. Your voice is heard here and when problems arise, people actually want to help solve the problem. Industry isn't for everyone but if you have a passion for winning, and have the same values as the team, along with the right teamwork attitude, you will succeed here.

Cons

Not a lot of WFH options Would be nice to have a gym membership reimbursement option again

Pros

You will learn a lot about logistics

Cons

“Turn and burn” environment, they have hired over 30 sales reps just in the last 2 years, which only a handful are still around. The company is littered with “management” positions, many of whom have little experience and industry knowledge. There is also a constant change in commission structure which is just one piece of the company’s immense disorganization and high turnover.
