Pros

Most employees are enjoyable to work with while some only care about themselves and their book of business. Fun office environment most of the time.

Cons

The goals are extremely unrealistic in a saturated market. You are there to build a "book of business" which takes time and a lot of communication with companies. At PLS you have 2 months or you're out. What almost every employee and manager doesn't understand is simply how businesses work. A strong, reputable and stable company is not going to hand over the shipping responsibility to a non-asset based company in a few weeks - this takes a lot of time. PLS seem to think these things happen overnight. You're only successful in the short-term if you get handed strong customers from employees who quit or you strike a lucky shipment from a desperate company.

Pros

The Colleagues and relationships you make with your co-workers. Building a book of business, and fast paced environment. Unlimited Growth Potential.

Cons

The direction the company is headed in and the toxicity of an everchanging management structure. As someone who spent almost a decade with PLS; I can say fully and honestly, they do not care about you. This is a company to build experience with and move on from. If you are a $20K rep for more than 6 months, after you roll out, they will move off of you. You will be terminated with no second thought--other reps will poach your clients and potentially ruin any relationships. Furthermore, management tends to play favorites--If you show growth potential, they will feed you, but the moment you fail on one opportunity--you will be turned over. This is not the job for anyone who questions their own ability and work ethic. PLS Hires in classes - they will hire 30-40 people at a time, and in 3 months, 4 to 5 people of that class will remain. The turn over is extremely high and there is no job security. Finally, even if you are a top performer, they will not hesitate to get rid of you.
