What seemed like a great opportunity wasn't what I thought it would be - Inside Sales Representative Echo Global Logistics Employee Review

Training is long, however I still felt unprepared when I hit the sales floor. Mindless job, calls calls and more calls. The commission structure is highly unattainable, never once in my time at Echo did I break through. Management has somewhat unrealistic goals for reps. Reps are selling Echo's third party logistics services in a highly saturated market. Echo's pricing is not nearly competitive enough in a market where pricing is everything to customers. Echo is nationally traded as a technology company, yet reps find themselves on the phone with IT just about everyday to get issues resolved. You will find yourself working 9+ hour workdays and managers will guilt you into staying late. If you choose to leave at 5 you will find yourself feeling being pressured into staying late in the future or working on your weekends.
