Pros

Employer contribution match 401(k), bonuses, good wages/salary, excellent vacation plan, great company overall.

Cons

At the Burr Ridge site, senior management has developed a pattern of using constructive dismissal, defamation, and discriminatory practices to quietly force employees out. The work environment in some departments is extremely toxic, dominated by a bullying culture that disguises itself as supportive and inclusive. While leaders publicly portray themselves as “coaches” or “mentors,” behind the scenes they ostracize and target certain employees under direct or indirect direction from senior leadership. What’s presented as professionalism is, in reality, a coordinated effort to silence and remove those who won’t conform to unethical behavior.

Pros

People are great and very welcoming on my team. The work I do makes an impact very quickly on processes. They put a huge emphasis on long term career growth and what you want to do more than what you are currently doing.

Cons

Overload of information when you first start

Pros

Can bring dog to work if you are in managements good graces - But you will have to completely change your personality to do so Decent enough corporate stepping stone if you want to work in Nashville

Cons

Management does not lead by example Way too much hypocrisy DEI is rampant and plays major role in office culture - Pride flags are draped all over the office Too many micro cultures in the company that breed resentment and an inequitable environment Members of the Logistics team gossip about other team members behind their backs - leads to poor camaraderie and distrust among the group Team CONSTANTLY complains - Negativity is off the charts Experience completely depends on your Line Manager - TOC team leadership lacks people skills and focuses much more on process due to decline in annual growth post COVID boom Freight Volume is down 40% this year and there are days where there is maybe 30 minutes of real work - Leads to disengagement Does not utilize team members’ strengths well - Highlights and micromanages weaknesses
