Pros

This job is 100% "you get out of it what you put in to it". This is essentially a sales job as well as business development. If you can grasp the big picture and are completely dedicated to becoming successful, you will make over 6 figures in just over 2 years. It's a grind and stressful but the reward is definitely worth it. PLS is invested in all of their employees and rewards success. I can honestly say that from experience. I've read all the negative reviews and there is one common theme. They lacked the key ingredient to be successful in sales, " self motivation". This is a sales job. You determine if your going to make more money faster than any other job. If you have a passion for sales and money this is a great place.

Cons

I wish I knew about the freight brokerage industry years ago.

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.
