Terrible Pay and Commission Structure - Business Development Representative (BDR) Trident Transport Employee Review

Pros

Gain sales experience for someone brand new to the work force looking to get into sales

Cons

- The commission structure is terrible - it's based on margins per load/sale and the margins are low. Upper management even pushes for loads to get booked with minimum margin to get them out the door. Salespeople were even booking loads for a loss in margin. - The starting base salary is decent if you are fresh out of college, or if this is your first job. - This job could 100% be remote, yet they demand 8am - 5pm M-F. If they made the switch to work from home, they could use all the money they're throwing away on office space leases to actually pay their employees.

Pros

Love working here and the encouragement we receive. No micro management. Can access office any time. Company has great benefits and are always doing things for us outside of work for our hard work like baseball games and golf.

Cons

Can be stressful when drivers no show cancel on loads.

Pros

If you are skilled at phone calls, fast sales, tracking, and mitigating delivery issues, and can exceed load count booked per day expectations, you will succeed and can make great money entry level.

Cons

No job security - can be a great worker for years but fail one month's quota and be fired without even a day's notice, no severance, PTO not paid, and your job itself can be restructured in assignments, commission pay, who you work with or under, what tools you can use to do your job, and what rules apply to you vs others.
