Pros

The people Great Building Beer on friday

Cons

1.) 35,000 salary non-negotiable 2.) expected make 80-100 cold calls per day 3.) Training program is horrible. Basically waste 3 months sitting in a classroom. 4.) You will absolutely get blown out of the water on any full truckload quote you do with someone. That's how you start making money on full truckload, not moving a single pallet for $30 gross profit. 5.) Your job can easily be eliminated since your the 3rd party. You have customers yelling at you for missed/drop times, and theirs nothing you can do about it. 6.) Extremely hard grow a book of business being a new person. Basically any company in the USA is in the database taken by some seasoned vet. 7.) Won't see decent bonus until your 3 or 4 year. The average rep last a year at the company. Makes sense.

Pros

Great management team, from front line sales management up through senior management. Fun culture. Entrepreneurial environment. Lots of opportunity to move around the company.

Cons

Cold call freight sales is a tough, cutthroat industry. Freight = problems, constant problems. Shipments are late, missed, broken, rerouted, not picked up, pricing renegotiated, etc. Commisson structure was impossible to understand. Antiquated draw. Now it has some tough Account Payable implications on sales people.
