Pros

A very significant number of good and smart people, unfortunately stifled by processes, company culture and management.

Cons

Success is not something the company strives to achieve, the only thing that matters to managers is to leave nothing written that could be linked to them and potentially become a liability. So no decisions are ever taken and the customer is completely forgotten. Therefore there is no strategy, no accountability and just politics to become the new boss in your area hindering cross-company cooperation. Productive employees are just left to decay. People hired from the outside are quickly reminded that winning business is not what is required and should adopt the culture of covering one's own a**.

Pros

You will meet some of the best people here and can learn the basics of being a freight broker if this is the career path you choose.

Cons

eadership is deeply ineffective and lacks even a basic understanding of how to run a successful business. There is a clear disconnect between management and the sales team, with decisions being made in a vacuum that ignore real operational and customer-facing challenges. While leadership claims to prioritize operations, execution is consistently poor and performance continues to decline. There is also a noticeable lack of accountability and consistency across the organization. Processes are not enforced equally, and favoritism impacts outcomes—particularly when it comes to freight handling. If you are not running TM freight, your shipments are treated as a lower priority and handled with significantly less care, which ultimately reflects poorly on both employees and the company as a whole. Overall, the environment is disorganized, leadership is out of touch, and there is little confidence that meaningful improvements will be made
