PLS Logistics Services reviews

All inside (phone) sales, unfavorable/inefficient sales system, poor managerial oversight/support, high-stress job, inability to control logistic outcomes (yet still held responsible), occasional mandated work over weekends, very little funding for travel (out-of-pocket), everything is numbers-based, impractical sales benchmarks, product's success (logistic services) determined solely by price, company favors higher-earning employees (boosts the already successful seniors vs. new and struggling) regardless of work ethic Ended up getting a job with another company doing *outside* sales, where I have my own designated territory, with reasonable sales expectations/goals, doing *very* well now, much better than I was at PLS but it's a lot easier to succeed when you work for a company with an effective/rational system of sales. And it's 100x less stressful! Little dissapointed in myself for spending so much time/effort at PLS, wasn't worth it!

Do not waste your time. Turnover approaches 95% by 6-7 months. The training here is a joke, you deal with idiots all day (truck drivers and dispatchers). Once you leave, the managers will give you a bad review when future employers call. This is not sales, just trying to underprice competitors. Some people do make it, but that is few and far between that happened to get lucky and land a big account, then take any decent customers from those who quit/got fired. Most of the customers you can get, don't move much freight. Many of us came in, despite the reviews and thought we would be driven and beat the odds, don't let that happen to you too.
