Pros

Free for all atmosphere and generally fun atmosphere even for being a call center. Not your normal office job. All 22-30 year old people wearing sweats, hoodies, jeans, beanies, sunglasses inside overall relaxed setting. You're dealing with truckers all day. They also pay you every two weeks so that helps offset the robotic life-saddening feeling of cold calling all day.

Cons

There isn't a lot of training, and what there is for training is irrelevant. That can either go or be revamped. It is 'churn and burn' on hiring/firing. Numbers over people very literally. You battle your own co-workers once youre in 'sales'. two words: Call stats. Also, you will not make more then the salary unless you're there for a year based on the financial modeling of their commission program. but that is another issue....there is no selling in this job. its account gathering, harvesting so to speak. you don't sell anything. all you do is get in line and wait your turn for others to fail. there's lack of regulation that's abused. basically cold calling, shoulder tapping, not making any meaningful money. the job pretty much is unchanged unless you land 3-4 major accounts, all while you have 0 job security after 4 months. at least 2 people let go per month out of about 20. so don't put your resume away. or simply don't waste your time unless you need the money for a few months.

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.
