Pros

FreightPOP is a tight-knit group of hard-working folks. It was a pleasure to go to battle with them every day (after all, working at a startup feels like a battle...albeit a fun one!). I really loved how we took a modern software approach to an otherwise archaic, antiquated industry. Because the company is very much in startup mode, you'll be able to take on a ton of responsibility so long as you are a go-getter. As someone in a business development role, I was able to have my voice heard from a variety of vantage points (product, customer success, marketing, etc.) - which I loved and I felt it helped me grow a lot as a professional to work cross-functionally all the time. And finally, the company is in a position to expand rapidly soon (larger customers coming aboard, funding, etc) which is obviously a great sign and can provide great leadership opportunities as the company scales.

Cons

I suppose you can call this a downside...because it's a startup you've got to be very quick to own a mistake, regardless of whose fault it is. "Don't point the finger. Pull the Thumb" was a mantra of ours - because at the end of the day we're in the business of delighting customers and you've got to do what's best for the company, not you as an individual. Another potential con is that because everyone is running a million miles a second always, it can feel a bit overwhelming at times. However, this is startup energy 101 so if you're reading this, that likely won't scare you.

Pros

Working with FreightPOP as an SDR was an awesome experience. Prior to this role I had no experience in the field of tech and supply chain. I came from theme park operations, retail, and fitness. The team at FreightPOP is very supportive, they live by their core values, it is an awesome start up culture, and I was always excited to show up to work every day. They have bi weekly team meetings, fun events/ outings to connect and grow with the team, the leaders in the company are always there to answer any questions which made it easy for me to grow and build confidence during my time there. The volunteer events were some of my favorite things to be a part of to give back to the community. If you are looking to get your foot in the door in the field of sales and the supply chain space, I highly recommend joining the FreightPOP team. They go the extra mile, and this is a great company to work with that will help you excel in your career and in other areas such as your personal development and leadership.

Cons

It can be a little overwhelming if you are completely new to logistics and the supply chain space. If you are open to put in the work and the hours to learn, you'll do just fine. As in every SDR role, there is a lot of rejection when it comes to outbound calls and emails. Learn from your leaders, don't take the rejections personally, and you'll do just fine.
