      I have been working at Echo Global Logistics full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      I have been with Echo Global Logistics for a little under 2 years. Echo is a great place to establish a successful career in the logistics industry if you have the drive to put in the work every day. They provide you with all tools and training needed so that you have the knowledge and skill sets required to become successful. Echo's proprietary technology is second to none and provides a competitive advantage that allows you to establish long term clientele that benefit heavily from Echo's services. The Dallas branch has a great culture and I have established life long friendships with my co-workers. Coming from another freight brokerage, I can say that Echo's commission structure is truly uncapped and allows you to receive the fruits of your labor which is essential in succeeding in this industry . If you are willing to put in the work, you will be rewarded at Echo. Easy onboarding process and no drug test required. Echo is a publicly traded, 1.8 billion dollar company that is respected and thought of highly throughout the Supply Chain/Logistics industry.

      Cons

      In order to make money at Echo you must be willing to put in the work. You will not find success if you expect the clients to come to you. Reps that are willing to put in the work every day are able to establish a consistent book of business and can make 6 figures by year 2 (no joke). With that being said, the job can become frustrating if you do not have a serious drive to be successful. The job is not for everyone, but if you have the drive to succeed this is the best platform to benefit from the work you put in.

      I have been working at Echo Global Logistics full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      The thing I love about Echo is how we step in and support each other throughout our journey. No matter where you are at in tenure there are unique situational experiences that can help other reps out. Everyone has something unique that they can bring to the table. We also have great team gatherings about once a month which continues our inter office growth.

      Cons

      Corporate in Chicago does a good job about trying to keep us branches in the loop on things as they change. However, with an ever changing market we might not hear about information as fast as the reps in Chicago.

      you will NOT advance your career. super slimey executive team, not truthful and use illegal HR tactics to scare employees. super high turnover. VERY political

      Advice to Management

      executive team needs to get out of day to day decisions and let managers manage their teams. HR does not belong in business decisions.

      Pros

      great work culture and great people to work with. They really try to make it a family and are always helping each other

      Cons

      New branch management led to a downhill of out of office activities such as happy hours or general work events. This job is extremely stressful and can be a real downer. The work outings were the highlight of the job. Mostly these events solidified teams relationships and comradery. These have decreased with new management and with a loss of over 10 people in 3 months have led to extremely poor employee morale.

      Without a change I'm sure, more will leave as I did.

      Advice to Management

      Stop being so cheap and treat your employees better. We were one of the top performing branches in the company and constantly broke records for growth. Yet there were rarely any rewards for the branch or celebrations. Turnover is high because there are not enough pros or fun times to outweigh the bad.

      Pros

      They really don’t fire they’re employees you are given ample time to ramp up.
      Free coffee.
      Lots of chances to succeed.
      Management seems to honestly care for there employees.
      Great priced benefits
      Fun culture.

      Cons

      During the interview they say you will make 100k within two years of working. But when on the floor they say the “goal” is to reach commission within 18 months on the floor... then raise 10k per year in commission. By that rate you need to be at the company for over 6 years to hit 100k. Salesforce is also loaded with duplicate leads which people are already calling on or are active.

      Advice to Management

      Don’t require new hires to post positive reviews on Glassdoor before they’ve actually experienced working for the company. That’s like committing fraud.
