So much unrealized potential

Pros

I was able to work from home whenever I needed to. They basically let me own my work completely and do what I felt was needed to get to the final goal without interference.

Cons

"Without interference" also includes without any apparent interest from anyone in the value of my contribution, despite continually saying how important it was. After taking on not only the work of the vacated position I was hired to fill, but also rolling in the the work of two consultants who were let go not long after I started, I managed to not only keep the project from imploding completely but stabilized it, made it extensible, and made it into a platform for delivering value to the company. I felt more than justified in asking for a raise, but was turned down with a comment about not seeing a "return on investment". Somehow, stonewalling for two years on expanding the team beyond just me (when the scope of work easily would have occupied 4+ people from the very beginning) even after saving them the cost of two consultants is viewed by this company as an "investment". Thanks, you can keep your investments. All things considered, they seem to operate from a mindset of doing as little as possible for their employees -- for example, they only pay out PTO at termination if legally required to by the state the employee works in. My manager spoke with me just one single time after I gave my notice, despite talk of a transition plan to make sure I left as much knowledge behind as possible. And I feel like I really did ... but honestly, who cares? Not them.

Pros

Laid back sales environment, t.v.s, pool table. Most of the people are pretty cool.

Cons

No support from your manager, they just want you to make cold calls all day. They quote their customers too high and then if they can't cover the load they give it back and 9 times out of 10 you lose that customer. Commissions are a joke 3% of what your gross margin is, and it will probably be at least 2 months before you even see that money on your paycheck. They had no idea when my training was going to be and when I started training it was a joke. Your just a number to these people. The carrier reps make way more money than the salespeople do because of the commission structure. Do yourself a favor and and go work at Coyote Logistics or TQL instead...much better companies and will always be ahead of this crappy organization.

Not paid commission

Pros

Easy work if you like talking on the phone all day.

Cons

Not getting paid the commission I earned. Over a 5 month period the company owed me over $5,000. If you like to work for free this is the company to do that for. I was one of many people in the same boat in the Atlanta office.
