Pros

Young environment, opportunity to learn a lot about logistics, but you end up teaching yourself.

Cons

EVERYTHING ELSE. The company is growing too fast..then they fire 20 people within 4 weeks and you are understaffed so bad to the point where you cannot do your job because there is no one there to answer the dumb phone. THEN they hire 20/month for about 6 months...weed out all the current employees who have garnered 30+ new customers each, redistribute those customers to favored account executives to grow their book of business...and have the new people start all over again. Out of 33 people from the August 2011 training class there are currently 5 people in the position we were hired for, 2 in other positions. Do not pay attention to the 5-star ratings on here, I am assuming it is the work of the super intelligent HR Department PLS has. Even the successful Account Executives at PLS hate their jobs and know they work for a BS company.

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.
