DON'T - you're better than this place - Anonymous employee Echo Global Logistics Employee Review

Echo claims to have a great culture and to be continually doing things to ensure career growth. Well let me tell you, neither of those are true. Echo has a terrible culture. They think the culture is great because people are friends and go to happy hour together. Culture should go beyond that and stand for more than that, which Echo does not. They will tell you over and over that they offer career growth but they don't. There is literally no growth to be had. They pick favorites and offer those people decent bumps in pay, but anyone else that isn't a favorite will get totally screwed no matter how hard you work. If you aren't a favorite or a top sales rep, get out while you can. Echo tries to distract everyone by offering beer Friday, and a "cool office space", but when it comes down to it everyone is VERY underpaid. It is a known fact that they try to get people in the door at the CHEAPEST offer possible and will do everything they can during reviews to not give you a merit increase. If you are ok grinding day in and day out and not ever developing your skill set or learning, you're an ideal employee. They look for people who aren't smart enough to realize their potential, people who they can schmooze into staying there because they "value" you, but they don't. How can they value you, when they under pay you and offer you zero career growth? Well, they'll tell you "at your next review we should be able to give you a nice bump in pay but right now can't". Also, don't get excited about bonuses because they are so small it's almost offensive.
