Pros

The company is growing and I enjoyed the work I did and the ability to be a primary force and help for the employees under me without a lot of micromanaging

Cons

Hypocritical policies of upper management, expecting us to accept "extreme ownership" at our level but not accepting themselves as failures if something went wrong, expecting us to learn and follow management classes but not abiding by the same principles. and removing bonuses to save cash by implementing a "new" polices where only a handful of Popular managers get recognized and receive bonuses. no movement upwards, I put in hundreds of job requests, to avoid being laid off, in areas that I qualified and showed skill sets and not even offered an interview to verify my qualifications and to keep me with GXO, taking their University classes that are to help you advance or move departments to be told I didn't have 1 year experience so classes meant nothing, apparently I made to much and was too old so better to remove the old higher paid employees for younger lower paid by ignoring every request to move up or over. to never be given even a chance. all they say is a lie. Complete lack of growth in the America's all focused in Europe. no sales people in Utah to get even 1 of hundreds of businesses in Utah.

Pros

Strong emphasis on meritocracy. High performers enjoy good internal mobility and flexibility to explore career paths across different departments.

Cons

Resource Constraints: Persistent headcount vacancies lead to understaffed teams and high workloads. Lack of Leadership Support: Due to resource gaps, management is heavily bogged down by individual contributor (IC) tasks. As a result, there is a noticeable lack of dedicated time for people management, structured guidance, and career mentorship.
