Pros

There is unlimited potential working in the logistics industry and PLS gives all the necessary tools to succeed. The top performers on the brokerage side make over $20k in commission a month! Plenty of reps make over $80k. Very nice office with top notch equipment. I have received great support from my office manager, his superiors and other departments in the company. First year you get 10 vacation days and 2 personal days off. If you are successful here, you can make a career at PLS or you will be recruited for sales jobs in other industries because of the sales experience gained. People get on glassdoor who did not make the sales quotas (which are NOT unreasonable), most likely due to poor work ethic and bad sales skills. A lot of people hired are not cut out for sales. Sales is challenging and has higher turnover than any field. Take the negative reviews with a grain of salt.

Cons

The training could be greatly improved (they are currently remodeling the training program). It is a tough gig with long hours, if you want to be the best you need to spend extra time at the office. Office can be distracting at times. The benefits could definitely be better. Not enough incentives and contests imo. Some people take horrible notes in salesforce and don't follow company protocol. Maybe a office lunch or happy hour here or there. Working Saturdays (every other until you hit goal) is a DRAG and kills employee morale after working a long hard week.

Pros

The Colleagues and relationships you make with your co-workers. Building a book of business, and fast paced environment. Unlimited Growth Potential.

Cons

The direction the company is headed in and the toxicity of an everchanging management structure. As someone who spent almost a decade with PLS; I can say fully and honestly, they do not care about you. This is a company to build experience with and move on from. If you are a $20K rep for more than 6 months, after you roll out, they will move off of you. You will be terminated with no second thought--other reps will poach your clients and potentially ruin any relationships. Furthermore, management tends to play favorites--If you show growth potential, they will feed you, but the moment you fail on one opportunity--you will be turned over. This is not the job for anyone who questions their own ability and work ethic. PLS Hires in classes - they will hire 30-40 people at a time, and in 3 months, 4 to 5 people of that class will remain. The turn over is extremely high and there is no job security. Finally, even if you are a top performer, they will not hesitate to get rid of you.
