Pros

Fast paced environment. Manager and leadership really stress high energy and a collaborative team effort.

Cons

Commission takes longer to earn than expected. Account Executive trainees typically take about a year and a half to become fully commissioned.

Pros

Will be working with a young group. Socializing at happy hours and sometimes through out the work day

Cons

There is absolutely nothing that PLS does that makes them stand out from the already over saturation of the logistics/transportation field. You will be calling one person who receives the exact same phone call from 40 other people saying the same thing. This is not a real sales position. All success is from calling at the right time (luck) or just sticking around while everyone else quits or gets fired and you acquire their book of business. The company is ran by inexperience and very poor leadership ability (just because they have a "big" book of business doesn't mean they know how to lead others to be successful). Very easy to lose the job. Even when you do get a "customer" doesn't mean they will come back to you. Very aggressive market. Highly recommend choosing another company. This job and this company should be your Plan Z option. You will probably average around 65-70 hours a week, no time off and you will have to answer phone calls or emails on the weekends. Also, you lose your days off if you do not use them all before the beginning of the year.

We're extremely disappointed to see your negative outlook of PLS. This company is growing quickly, and encourages our employees to succeed. We train, mentor and promote from within. This job and industry is competitive by nature, but rewarding. We take your comments seriously, thanks.

Pros

While the cons vastly outweigh the pros, they do offer you an extensive amount of freedom to pursue your goals how you want to

Cons

Never provide training to actually succeed at what your doing. Cycle through employees at an alarming rate (I was there for less than a year and saw at least 20 people hired and fired in just my office), managers set a poor example (ask you to lie to customers) and are generally lazy.
