Pros

It's a great starter job out of college. The people you work with are awesome. Benefits are pretty good compared to most companies.

Cons

Low pay. There is an emphasis on family being a core value, but they don't pay enough for someone to take care of their family. The only people who have families that last at eShipping are those in management positions. Everyone else tries and eventually finds out its not possible and leaves. In the beginning, the talk of upper management sounds awesome. It seems like a place you want to work for a long time, but after a year or two, you realize there is a disconnect from what is said to what actually plays out. Typical corporate feel. Career advancement is almost non existent. The company is not growing fast enough for any management positions to open up (low, mid, or upper). Raises only come with promotions, but those are far and few between. End of year raises are minimal.

Pros

Company is rapidly expanding, which provides job security, even in a rough market. They have a customer-focused mindset with expanding features to meet their needs. Big emphasis on need for vetting carriers in a world of stolen freight, which helps keep customer trust.

Cons

Chain of command is unclear. Frequent promotions or restructuring add to the confusion. Hard to know what person to go to for help, advice, etc. Similarly, upper-management make BIG decisions without consulting those who are familiar with the customer/process/etc., and overall have poor communication with system updates, policy changes, etc. The company, like all companies, wants to get higher margins. But one place they choose to cut is employee pay. Unless you make commission, you don't have an opportunity for a pay raise. There is a lot of turnover for the "grunt workers" because they don't get paid enough for the volume of work they're asked to do, especially when they also see the profit margins that their colleagues make.
