Pros

-Casual attire was a plus (jeans, t-shirt) -Overcome fear of cold calling -Learn BASIC selling skills -Experience using Salesforce.com If you are desperate for a job, then accept a position with PLS. But just know your chances of staying with the company 6+ months are slim to none. Do yourself a favor and get an entry level sales job in literally any other industry. There are better opportunities out there for a recent grad!

Cons

-No work/life balance -Long work days: 7am-5pm + required Saturday shifts -Toxic work environment: This company is a churn and burn, 90% turnover -Office culture is childish and unfortunately similar to a frat house -Unprofessional Management: Manager once dropped the F bomb in an office meeting for no reason. They also don't care if you succeed or fail, they only look out for themselves. -Highly saturated industry: There are way too many 3PL's and other great sales reps nationwide, limiting your potential to become successful. You're fighting for the same accounts that tons of other reps are, and PLS does not make it easy for a prospect to become a client. -Unachievable metrics and benchmarks that if you don't make or you're "not on track to making" , you're fired. -Women are discriminated and not treated fairly -Earning potential for successful reps who have been with the company over 3 years is only about $60K. They promise you'll make over six figures in a short amount of time but it's all a LIE.

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.
