Pros

You are your own boss - if you put in the time & effort,you can be very successful. Cold calling is not for everyone, you need to be a different type of person to work here. You can build solid relationships with customers you bring in. Philly office has a beautiful view

Cons

Working with truck drivers/trucking companies on a daily basis is not easy but its part of the job... you need thick skin. Long hours = 50 hour weeks and a very unproductive 4 hour Saturday shift each month For the amount of time and effort required to make it at PLS, the pay is very low. Management needs to establish a solid pay increase as AET's hit their benchmarks and as they continue to grow in order to make it worth being here. $38k salary doesn't cut it. No 401k match Poor TMS system - there are talks of a new system coming out but it has not been fully released. Very strict on which companies get credit lines to move freight. I've seen countless AET's get excited about finally landing an account they've been working on, only for upper management/CFO to tell them the new customer will have to Pre-pay in order to work with us. In-office management seems to take heavy pressure from upper management and it trickles down to the rest of the employees. CEO doesn't seem to understand how the company actually works... just the numbers on the income statement.

Pros

There are no pros! The only thing I liked about the company was the view and area of location. Everything else about it was terrible.

Cons

PLS Logistics is a company that makes you work six days a week, at least once, they were not of any help for me once I fell behind, the work area is like a frat scene, they expect you to know the entire system by the second day of training by throwing all of the work schedule from Wednesday and half of Thursday into a compact Tuesday, the trainers are not professional, majority of people were rude, and I got bamboozled by going here as a first job out of college. Do not recommend anyone to work here, it is terrible, as they make you do 200-250 cold calls. If you like rejection, long hours of potentially making $0, this is for you. If you are a college student right out or frankly any unemployed adult, do not consider even an interview.
