Thank you for leaving a review of PLS. I'm surprised you chose to only leave 2 stars when you provided us with more positives than negatives. With the growth we are seeing in our future, management strategies are constantly evolving to better the company and its workforce. Please email publicrelations@plslogistics.com if you'd like to elaborate more on your experiences.

Pros

Made some of the best friends of my life there, Learned a lot about Supply Chain Management

Cons

Sales are so pushy. Nobody likes getting calls from solicitors at home, so why should successful businesses like getting cold calls at work? Turnover rate is outrageous! When I started, there were 60+ people in the office and 4-5 months later, we were down to 10 at most. This company is so fast to give up on employees that work their hardest on a daily basis, just becauae their customers don't pay enough money to hit their sales goals. Also, management providing beer every Friday is extremely unprofessional and irresponsible. Some people have to get in their cars and drive home after a long, 10-hour work day (which they don't get paid overtime for). ONE MORE THING: The company is having employees post fake reviews on here to help make PLS seem like an amazing place to work. Unnecessary...

Thank you for the review of your time with PLS. We understand the methods behind calling leads is tedious, it is a part of the business structure that we find successful. It is not easy, but if you are doing well it pays off. We try to bring the concept of a laid back work environment by incorporating internal events but our goal is not to promote unprofessionalism. We encourage our employees to leave honest and open reviews if they wish, but by no means are they forced to.

Pros

They say earning potential is limitless. (Not true, you will cap. The company is not supportive towards growing employee client book gets to a point that is almost impossible to pass alone). I guess there are no pros.

Cons

The CEO only cares about the bottom line. PLS will step on and over any employee to increase the bottom line 20k a year. I have never seen a company care so little for their employees, everyone is expendable and PLS does not care. Here is a few examples -ALL AE and AET employees are salary exempt. This means that can make work days 9.5 hours long and not pay you extra -once you roll out and get paid commissions ONlY (no salary) they still make you work office hours. I have never heard of any other commission only job that requires this. (Again, company greed and control issues) -company has over 160% turnover rate.... - company shut down at least 2 offices in 2017 - PLS lost their largest customer - company seems very financially compromised - when selling you will run into more customer credit issues than you can imagine, PLS cannot take a financial to give a 300M customer more than 20-30k credit.... - non compete , PLS will make you sign a non compete and WILL change me after it if you break it l. I mean if you quit PLS and go work for another transportation company (do nothing wrong but get a new job) PLS will come after you. I could go on but if you are reading this I would highly recommend just passing on PLS and go work for any other 3PL. It will be the best decision you make. Just really decide if you want to waste your time here. Personally it's not worth the tiny pay check.

Thanks for your review. We're disappointed to learn that you think so negatively about PLS. We're an industry leader and a key to our success is our hard-working employees. We work hard to maintain a fun & productive culture here, so I'm shocked to hear this negative review. If you have any suggestions on how to further engage with our employees, please send an email to publicrelations@plslogistics.com
