Pros

High starting pay for those with no experience. Lots of paid time off and schedule flexibility. Office is like frat house they drink beer during shifts as well order takeout.

Cons

The training is very shallow and does not prepare you for the job. They give you the keys and tell you to drive without showing you how. Training and support does not meet most people's expectations and the management team is unorganized, aloof, and very sketchy at best.

Pros

Can focus on new business development and not worry about trying to cover loads, HOWEVER, the logistics coordinators you are forced to work with are inexperienced at best. Consistent social team building events.

Cons

2% commission to start is a joke. Trying to sell in a down market where margins are razor thin is hard enough, then you have to rely on inexperienced coordinators to run your quotes and source trucks because they won't let you do it yourself even if capable. Smile and dial, 200 dials a day with leads that have been beat to death for years. branches just trade the same customers back and forth, cutthroat competition between branches stealing leads, it's a meat grinder. For every 10 people they hire, 1 will make it thru 5 months. YOu just need to be the best person in your class and you'll be fine, they;ll just give you accounts when they fire people. Managers have little leadership experience, half of them never even really sold themselves so it's funny to label them, "sales managers". If you have dependents and need health insurance you'll make more money at McDonalds or SHeatz, $600+ a month for insurance. 50+ hours a week, after insurance premiums with dependents you're making $15/hr.

Pros

This job is legit terrible. They post fake reviews. Don't believe me? Take som time out to look at the reviews and dates of them. You do win an email sent out if you sign up a customer ....lol

Cons

Look man,there is no positives working here. It mentally drained so many of my peers. Keep looking, find other 3pls. They won't give you credit for a lot of companies so you will be wasting your time. It's going downhill very fast. They rely on three reps to keep the lights on
