Pros

There are too many pros to working at Fifth Wheel that it's hard to choose! The number one pro to working here is the leadership that comes along with it! You have amazing people there to coach you daily from the time you first step in the door! You won't ever feel like you're lost or alone for the duration of your career here. Outside of just work, we do some really fun activities throughout the year! I haven't had a dull day here since I started! They really show how much they appreciate our hard work!

Cons

I honestly can’t find any cons to working here!

Pros

Decent pay, good coworkers, that’s about it

Cons

Quite literally came into work and feared for my job everyday, if you thrive off fear then by all means work here, but if you’re a sane human I’d steer away. Was here for 5 months and was let go out of the blue, the KPI’s they expect from you on a month to month basis is insane, they expect you to make 120 phone calls a day and then also book thousands of dollars in freight shipments a month, there’s just not enough time in the day. I’m sure someone from fifth wheel will comment on this and say “it’s a cut throat business” but I know plenty of top performing reps that work their tails off everyday and are successful but still fear for their job because they don’t call 120 people a day. You put so much emphasis on culture but when I told people I worked at Fifth Wheel Freight they had genuine concern for me because the reputation this company has for hire to fire. If I could leave 0 stars I would

Thank you for sharing your feedback. A few points of clarification for anyone reading this review: The KPIs referenced here, including call activity and profit goals, are outlined explicitly in the interview process and reinforced throughout training. On call volume specifically, the hard daily KPI is 80 calls, not 120. And for any rep consistently hitting their profit goals, call counts alone are never the basis for a performance conversation. We also want to be transparent around our communication as it relates to under-performance. Every new rep receives monthly check-ins with their direct manager and Director of Sales Development. Performance standing is communicated clearly and regularly in these meetings. Team members are made aware of performance concerns by management at least several weeks before any employment decision is made, have access to their own performance data and percent-to-goal progress at all times, and are given plans to improve performance before employment decisions are made. A termination should never come as a “surprise.” This increased communication around performance is something FWF has worked on tirelessly over the last several years. Over the last several months, over 90% of our new reps either met or exceeded their call KPIs, which tells us that the expectations are both clear and achievable. We wish you well in your next chapter.

Pros

Such a big industry to operate in. The company is a perfect size where "all of the good stuff" is not taken, but still founded/credible to support that customer/vendor base.

Cons

Tough job. Stressful, but the people and pay make it worth while.
