Pros

Good front line team. Only reason I stayed for a year rather than a month.

Cons

Worked for Geodis for less than a year and couldn't take it. My first red flag was in my first week, where during a Zoom monthly meeting an executive screamed (red face and spitting) at a manager for something that turned out to be caused by a vendor outside of the company. Typically in office (mandatory) hours were roughly 8-9 hours a day with 1-3 hours at home in the evening. Senior Director sending out emails at 9pm or during the weekend with the expectation the task(s) be accomplished by the following morning. Typically corporate job - Expected to spend every moment of your life working with the hope that you might get promoted in 5-6 years.

Pros

You will meet some of the best people here and can learn the basics of being a freight broker if this is the career path you choose.

Cons

eadership is deeply ineffective and lacks even a basic understanding of how to run a successful business. There is a clear disconnect between management and the sales team, with decisions being made in a vacuum that ignore real operational and customer-facing challenges. While leadership claims to prioritize operations, execution is consistently poor and performance continues to decline. There is also a noticeable lack of accountability and consistency across the organization. Processes are not enforced equally, and favoritism impacts outcomes—particularly when it comes to freight handling. If you are not running TM freight, your shipments are treated as a lower priority and handled with significantly less care, which ultimately reflects poorly on both employees and the company as a whole. Overall, the environment is disorganized, leadership is out of touch, and there is little confidence that meaningful improvements will be made
