Pros

I have worked at Redwood since well before it was called Redwood. The company has lived up to the promises it had made me from the first day: if you work hard and you want to build something, you can dictate your career path. That held true when I started in operations then took on implementations and account management. I've held probably 9 or 10 different titles since starting almost 8 years ago and manage a team entirely unrelated to the function I worked when I started. The culture is entirely unique. I've seen reviews that claim an "insider" culture. My experience has been far from that. For me it seems very simple to gain recognition - it's a culture that rewards achievement, not tenure. Nobody here hands you anything, it's all earned. Work hard and produce and the company rewards the effort 10 out of 10 times.

Cons

Cons would be similar to the pros - just depends who you are. The company has historically run very lean - which means when an unusually large wave of work comes through, we really have to roll up our sleeves. Most of the people here embrace the challenge and get through it as a team - but the company doesn't have much patience for those who can't (or won't) rise to the occasion. For me, that's a good thing since it means I'm surrounded by some really great people - but for others who may thrive in more of a "corporate" structure it can be a tough ride.

Pros

Redwood has a great culture with a number of opportunities for internal growth. They have a unique business offering to a robust industry that sets them apart from competitors. You feel supported by your peers and leaders. Leadership is not afraid to help, teach and back up their teams, no matter the task.

Cons

The logistics industry, and Redwood’s role within it, is fast-paced and dynamic, offering employees the opportunity to build strong organizational and relationship-management skills. Success in this environment requires staying proactive, adaptable, and responsive to client needs. At times, client demands can be urgent and may extend beyond standard business hours, including evenings or weekends. While this can be challenging, it also provides an opportunity to demonstrate commitment, problem-solving, and a high level of service. Given the transactional nature of the industry, the effort invested may not always feel immediately reciprocated. However, this is a common aspect of working in a brokerage environment and can ultimately lead to long-term relationship building, professional growth, and a deeper understanding of the business.
