What is the best part of working at the company?
This company invests heavily in their employees, they provide training that will shape you into the best possible transportation professional you can be. It gives you practical experience that will fortify your education.  They provide competitive pay and an all inclusive atmosphere

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Stress and work go hand in hand, it is up to you to seek and obtain stress management skills that will provide work life balance. This company invests in programs that provide the tools to accomplish this.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It is an all inclusive, balanced pro-educational institution.  As an employee if you want to get on the professional fast track the tools are there, it is up to yoi tonstep to the plate.  

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
In my work experience, I had my sales calls, spot rates, operational work and xontract negotiation.

They regularly pay under market value for employees and wonder why the turnover rate is so high. There is no work/life balance, you're expected to work until the work is done, which would be fine if the workload was evenly distributed and those working 10-12 hour days were recognized and compensated for their commitment to the job but that is not the case. The same rules do not apply to management as normal employees. Normal employees told that holidays and end of year are blackout period and that no time can be taken off while management takes time off during that time or gives choice employees time off during that time. Advancement is completely dependent upon the management liking you, and management liking you is completely dependent on factors other than quality of your work. The team itself is fun, but who knows how long they will be there with everyone looking for jobs elsewhere.

Pros
*Work life balance 
*Free soda at restaurant next door
*Actual work is somewhat easy
*Team Leads/Managers who genuinely want you to succeed  and feel like a person
*Attempt at making employees happy (pies at Thanksgiving, small gift cards at Christmas)
*Rare chance to travel

Cons
*Poor communication
*Senior management doesn't seem to care about anything outside the numbers
*Sketchy operational senior management
*HR director (1 of 3 HR employees) works 3 hours in the office then "works" at home. Meanwhile, employees can't work from home or HR will talk to you. Oh ya, the HR director is also the owners daughter.
*Nepotism - see above
*HR manager is a yes woman and treats people as objects instead of people
*No opportunity to move up
*Poor leadership. No vision or where the company is going in the future
*Outdated policies 

Cons outweigh the pro's. Look elsewhere. If you do join, remember that HR is not your friend here.

This company is the worse I ever saw. First of all, if you want to go to bathroom or even get a coffee from coffee room, you have to sign off at team leaders door.you re not allowed to talk to co workers, use Skype where everyone can see. Overworking employees, micromanagement to the roof. Manager is a cousin of owner. No training , no support. Atmosphere makes you feel like you re doing time. I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy. Scary place to work. All employees are drained except ofcourse the relatives and management. They hired a guy as a logistics manager, but laughed in his face when he got there. They gave him position of logistics specialist.  It was heartbreaking to see that. No wonder they have job postings all the time. People run

Allyn has some great benefits and great culture. I enjoy working there. People are friendly and helpful. Very diverse in hiring. The job itself is easy but a lot of work. In order to make the client happy late nights and early mornings are often required. They are very flexible with doctors appointments. Time off requests are often denied if someone else on your team has requested it before you. Management is very pro micro managing (didn't used to be but things are changing). Overall great place to work just be prepared for multiple people telling you if you make a mistake or need improvement.

Allyn International is a fast-paced, client-driven company that provides great opportunities to develop strong skills in client service, logistics coordination, and problem-solving. The environment requires you to manage multiple projects at once and work under tight deadlines, which helped me grow professionally.

The teams are supportive and management is generally approachable, although the workload can sometimes be high depending on client needs. Overall, it's a very good place to gain real-world experience in global logistics and customer support, especially if you enjoy working in a dynamic, international environment.

Management would listen to our input and often brush it aside.  We would suggest new ways to improve processes and since they are a 3rd party logistics provider, little would ever get changed within their contracted company, ModSpace.  Additionally, there is ZERO room for career advancement, understaffed, and often undervalues their employees.  I was mislead during the interview what the job entails... you are simply a dispatcher.  I can not think of a previous job that had such higher turnover rate.

This company is run by family members, no place to turn when there are issues and there are a ton of issues.  Anyone who's been here for while is leaving or have been let go.  I can't emphasize enough that there is no work-life balance.  They tell you 40-45 hours a week, it's a minimum of 50 hours and weekends will be mandatory by the end of the year.  Currently looking for another position, just want to warn others to stay away.

Even my salary it’s not the highest. The best company environment I ever seen in my life . And I worked in a lot of companies. 

Attention to detail , kind people , tactful, generous, fun environment, calm work set up , plenty of help with your work, with your benefits and with your personal situations. 

I will work with them a thousand times and will always feel sad about leaving .
