Pros

This company has a great vision. They really want to be the leaders in the logistics industry. They really have a focus on IT driving the need to move their company forward.

Cons

They do not do work-life balance well. Several meetings with upper management happen after 6:00 PM. The CEO works a ton and expects the same level of work from his employees. They are expanding by buying companies, but do not have the infrastructure to support their purchases. They do not have the hardware or the IT personnel to support the staff they are acquiring. Since these IT guys are overworked, they are leaving in droves, which accentuates the problem. They buy companies and then lay off their staff--especially in the infrastructure and accounting arenas. If they do not lay you off, they ask you to move to their headquarters in Charlotte, NC. Unfortunately, it is usually without any incentive to do so except to keep your job. Moving expenses are small and laughable at best.

Pros

Great benefits and senior leadership has a goal to provide excellent service, competitive pay, and recognition for hard working team players, looking to put their best foot forward every day.

Cons

Can be stressful at times when working in logistics, but this is common in the industry and often more related to fluctuations in economic factors.

Pros

I have enjoyed my time with XPO and appreciate the opportunities the company has provided for both personal and professional growth. The team environment is supportive, and I've had the chance to build strong relationships with coworkers and customers over the years. One of the things I value most is that hard work and dedication are recognized. Every day brings new challenges, which keeps the job interesting and allows me to continue learning. Leadership encourages employees to find solutions and work together to provide excellent customer service. Like any large company, there are busy periods and opportunities for improvement, but overall, XPO offers a solid career path, competitive benefits, and the chance to make a real impact. If you're someone who enjoys a fast-paced environment and is willing to put in the effort, XPO can be a rewarding place to build a career.

Cons

The transportation industry is constantly changing, so employees need to be adaptable and able to handle shifting priorities. Workloads can be demanding at times, but the teamwork and customer relationships make it rewarding
