Cons

Lack of Cohesion Across Teams: There’s no consistency in how the company operates. One office may tell you something completely different from another. Processes vary, expectations shift, and there's no unified structure—making it difficult to understand the correct order of operations or feel confident in your work. Limited Access to Resources: Tools that would make the job easier exist—but brokers aren’t granted access. For example, a version of salesforce used by support for shipment visibility is restricted for use by brokers, forcing brokers to rely on team leads or support staff for updates. With a disproportionate amount of brokers compared to support staff, response times lag and productivity suffers. Inadequate Training and Support: Training is surface-level at best. You’re left with unanswered questions that even your manager may not be able to address. Many managers deflect or give vague answers just to end the conversation. In a nuanced industry where many cases are situational, the lack of accessible and reliable guidance is frustrating and costly. Ongoing Layoffs and Job Insecurity: I've witnessed four rounds of layoffs in just 2.5 years. Out of my original training class of 20, I’m the only one left. There's a constant sense of instability—employees are in and out, and no one truly feels secure in their role. Feeling Undervalued: After 2.5 years, I received my first merit increase—and it was only 2%, despite being told 3% was standard. The year before, I was deemed ineligible because I had recently changed roles (with no raise). While brokers received $10K bonuses, the account management team and support/ops staff—the backbone of the company—received nothing. It’s clear the company prioritizes profits over people. Wearing Multiple Hats with Little Support: While there's a "support team" on paper, they're overwhelmed and stretched thin. Updates can take hours or even days. Team leads are spread across 10–20 brokers, which means even urgent requests for help often go unanswered. It’s not uncommon to manage your entire workload solo. No Incentive for Advancement: Some "promotions" or role changes don’t come with pay increases—and often result in being excluded from annual merit raises. The underlying message is: you're lucky to have a job, so don't expect more. It discourages ambition and penalizes growth. Subpar Benefits: The benefits are just okay. Vision only covers glasses every two years. Dental limits comprehensive exams to once every two years.

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.
