Pros

Good hours . You work your 40 then go home most weeks

Cons

You do have to sign a perpetual non-disparage clause in the employment contract. In layman's terms this means you can't speak badly of XPO or any employee or management figure, whether or not your statement is true. Also, the contract you're forced to sign explicitly states you can't speak badly of XPO even if you are no longer employed For example, if you are promised a raise , xpo reneges, then you quit, then you write a facebook post about it, they can haul you to court. it doesn't matter if what you wrote was true. In a defamation case they would have to prove that the post wasn't true but in a breach of contract case pertaining to a non-disparage clause they only have to prove you wrote it and it casts them In a bad light. Also you have to sign a non-compete agreement stating you can't work in the same field for 6 months after after you quit/get fired (unless XPO releases you from this clause).

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
