FreightCenter reviews

The pay sucks and to make any kind of decent money you need to hit sales goals. These goals are almost always not attainable unless you hit the jackpot with a new account that ships a ton. Management will try and steer accounts away from newer people so good luck with that. Ridiculously micromanaged by people who don't care about you since they figure you'll leave soon anyway. When interviewed, was told cold calling was practically non-existent but that is the go to response from a supervisor when you ask for leads. A supervisor once claimed you wouldn't get paid for time already worked if you made any kind of time error because they were tired of correcting mistakes. Turnover is insane, at times there were multiple people who quit a day and they still fired those who didn't hit monthly goals regardless of what they'd done in the past. Outside of a few employees and supervisors pretty much everyone started within the past year. There are constant new training classes and talk of expansion yet often people ran out of leads and were told to cold call. Starting hours are ridiculous, you won't be able to work a normal schedule until you've been there a year or so and as previously stated no one lasts that long.

100% toxic environment. Small-minded people, pettiness, gossip, power trips, job instability, politics, manipulation, back-stabbing and lies. And I’m talking about management, here. If you have to choose between working at FreightCenter and turning tricks in Bangkok, book your ticket to Thailand right away. The CEO wanders in at 10:00 am each day, yawns through some meetings, tells some people that they’re stupid, then goes to the gym for two hours. He comes back and wanders around the office in a t-shirt and shorts two sizes too small for him, and spends the afternoon talking about employees behind their backs, explaining how everybody is stupid and trying to steal his money. Management is composed of whoever could (and would) stab the most people in the back, climbing to the top over mounds of dispatched coworkers. Everybody hates everybody; nobody respects anybody; nobody trusts anybody. They all smile to each others’ faces, then rage about each other behind closed doors. Management does nothing but in-fight. Everybody has a different idea about how things should be run, nobody has a clear vision, objectives change from one day to the next, nobody follows through on anything, they all lie to each other and to their employees. A true and complete cluster. The only benefits are the benefits required by law, and some crappy health, dental and vision that they only cover part of. No 401(k) or retirement options of any kind. Bonuses that are promised and never materialize. Two paid sick days (which Management will guilt you over, and try to prevent paying you for if you’re not the “right kind” of sick). Five vacation days after a full year on the job. You can expect to make 20% less at FreightCenter than you would at any other place in the same position. FreightCenter hates you. By earning a paycheck, you are stealing FreightCenter’s money. By expecting decent working conditions, you are stealing more money. By expecting decent benefits, you are stealing more money still. By wanting to have a life outside of FreightCenter, you are stealing their time. You should consider yourself lucky to have a job of any kind because you are filth. Stealing, time-sucking filth. FreightCenter hates you. And they will make sure to let you know that.
