Pros

Food gets catered often, ping pong, clean facilities

Cons

Where do I start??? If you work in after hours prepare to work ever single weekend, all holidays and never have evenings off. When I started I was told that after 6 months of proving myself I would have the opportunity to be promoted to a different department- never happened. There is a "no fault attendance" policy. A coworker's mother died and he got attendance points for going to the funeral. Another coworker got into an accident and in the ER for several days, he received points too. That's ridiculous. I've also never had a job where I have not gotten a weekend off or single weekend day off. I didn't even have 2 consecutive days off. Also be prepared for mandatory overtime. Micromanaging people seems to be what management is taught. If you're not on the phone for 30 seconds be prepared to get yelled at. Carriers do not need to be called 24/7 to make sure they are okay, they are adults they do not need baby sat. You constantly move desk and sit at day shift people's desk which is annoying, makes me feel out of place. There is zero diversity in the job. You answer calls from pissed off people 8 hours straight. You get talked to like you are dirt and threatened. Nobody in the company respects after hours employees. Brokers constantly talk down to us and cuss us out. Being in the military was less stressful than working at tql. The way people are treated disgusts me. There benefits from the company are pricey and average coverage. Give people incentives, take care of employees, and acknowledge hard work, maybe you will retain employees.

Pros

Incredibly welcoming community of people who will support you, motivate you, and guide you. The HQ facility is a wonderful place to work. It features a great number of amenities at any employee's disposal. The training received here is also second to none.

Cons

Many hours worked throughout a week.

Pros

TQL is definitely the place where you actually learn about the job and build your skills each day at a time. There are good amount of leaders and staff that will take care of you and make sure you are successful. TQL is also a place where you are surrounded by an amazing team that will learn and succeed with you. I’d like to call TQL a “school” where you actually learn about logistics thoroughly. I’ve started off as an LAET then moved my way to account support. My time at TQL was a great run. The office was definitely not an average corporate office for sure!

Cons

The con of this company wouldn’t be as negative as I would state it, but it is highly competitive and super demanding. It is competitive with sales and progress you will make throughout your time there. Performance is measured that way.
