Advice to Senior Management

When your subordinate employees give you advice on what is needed or what should/shouldn't change, take it to heart, there are a lot of people who care for the company and know what they are talking about.

Pros

Good pay for summer internship (3k a month after taxes)
Interaction with very senior executives
Positive work environment
Good work hours
Good culture
Company you can be proud to work for
Although my group had a hiring freeze, my manager worked the phones with other managers and directors and got my two interviews that both led to offers

Cons

Working in Memphis (and I'm from Memphis)
Overall intern program was unorganized, my manager did a good job though
Many interns had great reviews but hiring freezes meant their managers couldn't offer

Advice to Senior Management

Structure the intern program better, have more interactions with other interns. Me and the intern in my group never had any interaction with the other interns in different areas. Groups that had many interns set things up for their interns to do, but in smaller groups like mine that only had 2 interns, we were sort of lef out of teh loop.

Pros

Be open minded and a positive to learning and flexible change. The work pace is fast and furious at times.

Cons

The hours for supervisors and operations managers can be long but very challenging. Sometimes it would appear the human element is overlooked.

Advice to Senior Management

The Senoir Leadership needs to look, listen and hear what is being said and offered as a measure of approval from the front line leadership.

Pros

Opportunity to cross train in other roles, generally amazing co-workers

Cons

Limited opportunity to move into management in Dallas, bad behavior not always centured

Advice to Senior Management

Improve middle management training, better monitoring of bad apples

Pros

pay was very competitve and fair

Cons

too much work to complete in one day

Advice to Senior Management

get more organized

Pros

Growth, Pay, Flexibility, Great Leadership.

Cons

If you are resistant to change, to work here, things are always changing.

Advice to Senior Management

Great Management. Need to adjust to different types of leadership, but of the managers I had, all were great.

Pros

guaranteed hours and good benefits

Cons

late nights.If you work night get ready to take an energy shot

Pros

Work conditions. Safety. Facilities. Adequate tools to do the job. Convenience. Sufficient flexibility.

Cons

Limited income growth. Pay scales not rationalized. The real inside track is not always known. Very challenging competition. Lots of outstanding talent and intelligence, but sometimes lacking in real and broad experience, especially experience in Transportation.

Advice to Senior Management

Thorough review of pay, pay scales, and rationale for pay, plus more cross-OpCo equalization. Managers don't want to talk about pay. It is much too secretive. Encourage this before economy and hiring improves to mitigate turnover. Issue would have greater urgency if FXS were located in most any other city.

Pros

Limited work week as we are insides sales
Good Benefits package starts first day of work
two week off as soon as you start
great people

Cons

Unreasonable sales goal, does not take into account certain markets
On the phone constantly

Advice to Senior Management

more training after a year on the floor
