Pros

The atmosphere is great and they train you with the basics of the industry to be able to develop.

Cons

There is a huge focus on sales so if you are not comfortable picking up the phone calling out for business this might not be the best job for you.

Pros

The biggest pro is that you are guaranteed to get a full time offer, degree or no degree (none required). Casual office attire.

Cons

Like the other posts, I find it very strange that one finds pages of good reviews before getting to the scoop on the true PLS. It raises the question of how they got so many good reviews - I would like an answer to how they got employees to say such things - incentives? The company is essentially a pyramid scheme in the sense that they ride new employees to sign up new customers that are then gifted to the long term personal. They preach unethical behavior (a few specifics so their public relations can't give me a hard time) such as screwing over carriers out of detention and even going after prospects that are within the 60 days rule on salesforce. The job usually lasts 6 months or 9 if you succeed. Sales training consists of a 30 minute slide show. **changed to overtime when the law was going to shift and then changed back to longer hours and no OT after the injunction in Texas...... **

Pros

Free coffee. Free pizza sometimes. People that work with you are down to earth and willing to help you. The pay was actually not that bad. It's a job to get right out of college to build your resume.

Cons

9/10 new hires are "let go" after the first 4 months. Don't let the recruiters fool you. This place is awful. You can work your hardest and be $1 away from hitting your number and still get "let go". You are just a number to them. Office politics are so blatantly obvious it's sickening. This job is extremely stressful because you have no clue when you will be "let go". Managers want you working non-stop without taking any breaks. If you go outside to eat a sandwich, your manager will go out of his way to confront you about why you should be cold calling instead of eating a sandwich (this is not an exaggeration because it happened to me over and over again). Do not believe any of the 5 star reviews. They are not real. Advice: If you decide to take this job immediately start looking for employment elsewhere. You will regret it if you think you're going to last in this "company".
