Pros

All of the offices are always hiring, so as a college graduate you have an opportunity to move to a new city where they have an office located, if you so choose. For operations, there is a base salary + monthly bonus. Bonus seems to go up each month as long as you are doing your job well. They will pair you with a senior broker over time and you will start making a percentage of the margins you guys do that month. Operations is more about your work ethic and ability to negotiate, rather than sales where sometimes its just luck if your able to land a big account.

Cons

Trucks will break down and carriers will lie to you, it's just how the industry is. This can cause work to be stressful at times and follow you home. Also, the majority of the office will be people in their 20s, so while work can be fun at times, there will also be some things that from a managerial perspective, probably wouldn't fly at other jobs.

Pros

The people make work easier and enjoyable.

Cons

Logistics is constantly changing. This is not a company issue, but you have to be prepared to stay on your toes and adjust on the fly in this industry.

Pros

NTG was a place where I thought I would be long term. Working in the Dallas office, I genuinely felt like I had found a home. I enjoyed everyone I met and the friendships I made along the way. The memories I made with my hiring class are ones I’ll never forget. I sincerely hope our paths cross again. I’d also like to thank my managers for their exceptional leadership. I truly gained valuable skills that I’ll carry with me into my next role. The same goes for everyone I met in NTG’s Austin office during my visit.

Cons

As for the companies decision, I have a lot of thoughts. From my perspective, this came down to numbers on a spreadsheet. What wasn’t seen was the work that many of us put in behind the scenes during a very difficult market, often working stale accounts that had little chance of converting because of past relationships and mistakes. I strongly disagree with the decision. That said, I can honestly say I gave this job everything I had and more. I left it all on the field, and I’ll always be proud of that. Despite how things ended, I’m grateful for my experience at NTG, the people I met, and everything I learned along the way. I’m excited to see what I can accomplish in my next role and where this next chapter takes me.
