Great Starter Opportunity - But was not for me
Pros
- Excellent introduction into full-cycle sales - Easy to build real relationships and friendships - Best-in-class training setup in the whole industry - Strong mentorship presence - Trusted with real responsibility early on - Great support system and driven leadership team
Cons
- Significant unclear path for promotion and raises, more like being "the right time at the right place"—something that did not sit well with me personally and by far my biggest issue with the company. - Due to the constant demand of logistics you are basically a desk rat all day unable to take lunches due to an issue always popping up. - The training program is very long (8 months long) due to the operational side of the business. - This is not a straight sales job; 50–75% of the time, you are an ADR. - Treated way more as a number - Eventually become an account manager, and that is where the number comparison comes in. the point in selling in logistics long-term is to become a a full-time account manager, which takes serious time away from going out and hunting new business. -Freight is highly cyclical and sensitive to market conditions. - External factors can heavily impact performance regardless of individual effort. - Less control over outcomes compared to some tech-enabled or SaaS environments.
