Pros

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at PLS and look forward to the opportunity and challenges that I will face in the future. If you are someone who puts in minimal effort this job is not for you. You will fail and not be able to enjoy the benefits that those who truly GRIND at this job receive. Management allows you to work your own book of business and be your own boss. They expect you to show up and do your job, and if you do you will succeed. Management is very accessible, starting out I did not know much about the logistics industry, but I was able to pick the brains of my managers and flood them with questions. The management wants to make sure you succeed if you are willing to put in the time. Some sales positions are subjected to certain industries or regions; at this position you have an unlimited range of prospects to capture and this allows you to build up a great book of business if you are dedicated. Overall, if you are someone who can think quickly on their feet, be organized, and dedicated to improving your future, this job is a perfect fit for you.

Cons

Unlike most jobs, this is a position where you take your work home with you. Once you become successful and grow a large enough book of business you will constantly have freight in transit. This bothers some people, but when you are making the type of money that we make it is totally worth it.

Pros

The management is amazing. They sit right on the sales floor to coach you through everything from selling to freight move. Jon Kalchthaler, the satellite office leader, always had time to help even though I knew he was extremely busy handling an office of over 50. Andrew Barricks, the GSM, specializes in making it from the bottom as a successful Account executive, he once failed at this position and knows how to make it work as long as you are dedicated! Andrew is very hands on and both Managers are super easy to talk to. The environment is really fun, fast paced, and energetic and any negative complaints about the structure come from sour old employees who you knew weren't going to make it. They goofed around on the sales floor and were constantly distracted by the fun environment; really caught up in the culture as opposed to the actual position. The HR team and recruiters were AMAZING, they helped me with everything I needed and were super upfront about the hours we needed to work and gave me great advice since they had also been Account Executive and made it through the process themselves (something that spoke to the growth opportunities of this company).

Cons

This is a young company and you find out quickly that sales isn't for everyone. A lot of new grads want to "yes" the position to death just to get a job and then realize that they aren't meant for sales, a competitive environment, or hitting sales goals. The good news is that everyone is held to the same standard and you can ABSOLUTELY tell who will fail at sales based on their performance. I would ask the people who write negative reviews on this company how much effort they put into the company, especially since management straight up tells you how to succeed on a quantitative scale of phone calls and customer touches. I ended up moving to a different office but wish I could have stayed at PLS Houston for the awesome management and environment. Miss it everyday!!
