Pros

Okay company culture, a decent incentive every once in a while. Great coworkers, regular paycheck. Industry-leading "proprietary" technology, okay brand name. Solid [paid] training for the industry. Nearly no petty micro-managing; freedom to put Echo's name and resources to the test while attempting to close billion-dollar companies. Good comprehensive small-business experience. Still a young company.

Cons

Horrible operational support; this is more an "account executive" position, and the sales side diminishes quickly over time. Very poor commission structure; less than 15% of the entire sales force hits "commission" (that is, makes more than the base salary) within the first 12 months of "hitting the floor." Furthermore, client sales trainees don't hit the floor for a good couple of months, so you can expect to be looking at 14-18+months before you make over base salary. Despite above, this is actually more of a "customer service" position, as you will be in the "business of apologizing." Nearly impossible to be ethical and make a good paycheck (not just Echo, but 3pl's as a whole). Ridiculous rate of turnover amongst employees and management alike.

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.
