Pros

Hard working Employees, satisfying and challenging work. Great place for gaining 6 months experience (then off to a reputable company)

Cons

Company believes profits should be gained by "shaving" overtime time pay and guilt tripping you into working for free... Instead of maintaining quality human capital, company prefers to hire less qualified employees who will work for free. Innovation is non existent at mainfreight, it is all a "make a quick dollar today" mentality. biggest con is the Los Angeles logistics "management". constant condescending to employees for not performing duties as expected by upper management. LA logistics is famous for its nuclear employee turnover rate, good human capital runs out of this place as soon as they realize MF of LA Logistics is the least qualified manager to work under. team morale is non existent, everyday you are understaffed and you are verbally berated by MF on a hourly basis. Management has NO accountability for team not working well. teams fall apart chronically due to good employees leaving so quickly. management is also famous for blacklisting employees from moving around company as punishment for MF not "liking" you. being "liked" in the company relates to how much overtime you are willing to work without pay, and how much you can put up with the immaturity of MF of la logistics.
