Pros

Decent view of downtown Austin and some decent start up benefits like snacks, drinks, and food. Comp is reasonable and in line with industry benchmark.

Cons

This is the classic “Smoke and Mirror.” The real issue with this company is their identity. Is it a freight brokerage or is it a tms company? I was misled during the interview process thinking I came to sell SaaS but ended up being a freight broker. The extremely high turnover here isn't because of the “industry” people. Unrealistic expectations and goals set by an inexperienced CEO with no “real” knowledge of logistics or technology is the true root cause. The culture here is Fear and Micromanagement. If you don't agree, don't bother speaking up or addressing issues.
