They'll Train You Well — For Someone Else - Logistics Account Executive Total Quality Logistics Employee Review

Pros

Training is thorough and well-structured, one of the stronger onboarding programs you'll find. The tools and resources available to build your book of business are solid.

Cons

Office politics are a problem. Larger accounts go to people they like, not people who perform. The work-life balance issue isn't a minor inconvenience, it's the core deterrent of this role. This industry runs around the clock, early mornings, late nights, Saturdays, federal holidays. You will work outside standard hours, consistently. Burnout is common and not surprising given the structure. You're building a book of business with no real off switch and no commission for roughly the first year.The base pay sounds reasonable until you account for the hours. It isn't. That's a hard ask for anyone, let alone someone new to sales. Support for account reps is uneven. If you're not already a top performer, don't expect the same resources as one, unless you're a favorite.

Pros

Frat House environment if that's what you're into.

Cons

Where do I even start.... My first week there the sales manager, whose account I was supposed to look over and be trained by, was gone for the whole week. The desk spot they put me at was next to this JBL party box, making it virtually impossible to communicate over the phone. When you're in the training phase you literally do all the work for the account manager, then you're expected to make cold calls to people that want no part in TQL. When you do get someone on the phone and make a sale, you wont be seeing any of that money. They have a commission draw set up where you have to be making a certain amount of revenue before you can make commission- thus leaving you to the measly 43k salary. These recruiters and managers SELL you a false dream, the turnover rate there is astronomical for a reason. They will hire anyone that'll learn the system, use them for labor for 6 months, cut them when they don't meet the ridiculous KPI metrics. To be actually successful here you either have to work near 60+ hours a week for YEARS waking at 4am to "snipe" accounts that have been released due to inactivity, or be handed an account by a retiring SR level manager. RUN from this company!
