XPO Logistics Employee Reviews. I'm going to attempt to explain this succinctly, WORK HARD. Like everyone else, I started out through a temp agency making very little an hour. Once hired on full time, I made a few dollars more an hour, but my pay period went from every week, to every other week. When open enrollment came along, stock options, retirement, medical, and above average dental benefits were added. After a year, only half a dollar an hour raise. That was an insult. Especially since the cost of living goes up more. So don't expect to get merit, or cost of living raises. Expect MANDATORY OVERTIME, 7-day a week work scheduals, changing policies, and write ups. I hear through the grapevine, that XPO is a european owned company. This company is money driven, and 80% or better daily productivity, will ensure you a position through the layoff season each winter. That is approximately 8 trailers a day. A lot of people have issues with their supervisors, or leads, but they forget that they too are under the gun, and have to report to their boss on each worker's performance. Keeping your head down is a good idea, don't make waves, and above all else, be honest if you make a mistake. Watch out for back stabbers, and gossipers. Don't advertise anything you wouldn't want to hear back over a loud speaker. Competition brings out the very best, and the very worse in your fellow workers. I'm not going to bad mouth XPO, because in my hour of need, I got hired. I have watched supervisors get let go and replaced, because they did not want to conform to policies. So no one is exempt. I have also seen Supervisors more. hired from the outside. This company has a high turnover rate. Are there things that go on that are not right? Yes. Inform your lead, supervisor, or human resources dept. of issues, and they send out e-mails to address those issues. Sometimes this takes time to hear back, and more time to resolve. There are constant technical issues with the computers. They run off wifi and Comcast, so occasionally, LXE's on forklifts, and yard goats, will freeze up. Just part of doing business. Be sure to keep track of all your down time so you can fill out that form. Otherwise it will drag your productivity numbers way down. Keep a CYA notepad incase you report something, and someone drops the ball passing along the messages. Daily shift change meetings are held to inform and encourage productivity. Safety bingo, and safety slogan drawings, are held to help promote safety. The yard truck take a tremendous amount of wear n tear abuse. Four axle trailers and one axle yard goat? Again, it's all about the extra dollar. less. Want to know more about XPO Logistics ?
