Pros

I knew from the moment I received the phone call from XPO this will be a company I'll be working with for a while. Not because I needed a job to support a family of 7 including myself. But the opportunities that's created within the company for their employees. XPO's benefits and the one that stood out the most with me is the Dependent Care never had that before and with 2 kids under the ages of 2 is great help. If you're anyone like me whose big on personal development in life or at work XPO University has a huge library on training and courses to help create and develop better leaders and an overall better person. Another one is if you show that you want to take on new responsibilities and grow within the company its there for you as long as you show hard work and dedication. Personally I've only been with the company 5 months tomorrow but, I've came from being a dockworker for 3 of those months training to be a Team Lead 1 of those months to full fledge running my own Sector on a FAC shift which gets crazy. Just imagine my first 2 weeks as a dockworker I didn't think I would make being apart of a FAC shift . Without any full management training here I am killing it. All due to dedication, determination and ambition with that I knew that there were plenty potential opportunities of growth for any employee whose willing to take on the task.

Cons

With any employer theirs always someone with a negative mindset towards the company, management, pay, the tools to do the job, what's needed of them and what they say not doing, etc. And worst of them all complainers. Don't let those kinds of people determine your success.

At XPO, we believe in welcoming everyone—regardless of gender or gender identity, race or ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, veteran status or disability. In this way, we create respectful workplaces with a diversity of talents and perspectives.

We believe it’s imperative that our company reflects the diverse makeup of the communities we serve. Our focus on diversity is evident in our Values and Code of Business Ethics, which specifically define XPO as being respectful and non-discriminatory.

Beyond our operations, our company is a strong proponent of supplier diversity. We make contracting opportunities available to businesses owned by women, minorities, veterans, members of the LGBTQ community and businesses associated with people with disabilities.

XPO University, our company’s learning and development platform, offers Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Workshops to employees in areas such as raising awareness (transforming behaviors of unconscious bias), partnership (becoming an effective ally) and leadership (building a culture of inclusion).

Career Growth

Career Growth Programs

We strive to attract and hire the very best people to join our teams. It’s tremendously important that we keep those talented team members engaged with opportunities to learn new skills and grow their careers with XPO. We’re always evolving our professional development programs to make sure we’re giving our team members the best opportunities to reach their career goals.   

Grow at XPO 

When our employees decide they are ready for more responsibility, a different role, a promotion or higher pay, the Grow at XPO program provides resources, mentoring and professional development opportunities to help prepare them to take that next step. 

Our Grow at XPO program is interconnected with our expansive XPO University, which provides hourly and salaried employees with classes, on-the-job training, tuition reimbursement programs and more. In addition to a customized learning plan, each employee receives additional training in resume development, interviewing skills and other courses that provide a clear, well-rounded path for upward progress. We’re passionate about what we do at XPO and we want passionate employees who can help us reach our goals, while building the career of their dreams.

If you want to earn your CDL, you can do that at one of our driver schools. You’ll go from classroom training to behind the wheel as a licensed Class A truck driver.

Safety and Sustainability

Safety and Sustainability

Safety is our #1 goal.

We put safety first, for our employees, communities and customers. One of our main objectives is to achieve zero job-related injuries and accidents. We use training and technology to constantly keep improving our safety ecosystem, and we have XPO safety professionals positioned across our operating regions.

Our global Road to Zero initiative and strict compliance measures are the foundations of our commitment to safety. Through this commitment to safety, we achieve recordable rates that are below industry averages for accidents and OSHA incidents.

 

Our approach to sustainability is rooted in innovation.

Innovation is driving more than our own success and that of our customers. It’s how we’re contributing to solving pressing global challenges and propelling positive change. Environmental, social and organizational sustainability is woven into our decisions and operations. For instance, in 2018 in North America, we bought nearly 800 fuel-efficient tractors and deployed routing technology to reduce empty miles. In Europe, we’re investing in alternative fuel and high-capacity trucks that slash road miles and dramatically cut CO2 emissions.

XPO employees are driven to give back. There are hundreds of examples of XPO and our employees providing service to the communities where we live and operate. Our employees devote creative energy and talent to solving customers’ problems, managing our environmental footprint, enhancing our workplace and giving back. We’re pleased with the progress we’ve made over the past ten years, and excited to keep moving the world forward.
