Pros

It is a young and energetic atmosphere. OK job out of school but it will get old fast once you finish the 4-month training program (which is pretty nice). They take you out to Chicago for the first two weeks (all expenses paid).

Cons

After the orientation phase in Chicago it all goes downhill. You go through several tedious rotations that require you to call and track shipments for about 4 months. I think they are revamping the training because it is pointless and wasteful at times.

Pros

- Young work force. The entire office is between 22 - 30. - Flexible hours. You can take time off when you need/want to without hassle - Great employees

Cons

- Low starting wage - Commission structure is designed to rip you off: -- for accounts that are given to you, you recieve half of the commission -- if one of your accounts defaults, they take about 23% of the loss from your check. Some accounts owe $50,000 +. (This is inspite of the fact that all accounts are insured agaiinst default. Meaning, Echo is first reimbursed by an insurance company and then recieves an additional 23% from the sales rep as profit.) - Useless support structure: -- getting the carrier department to assist you is like pulling teeth -- the people who argue invoices discrepancies work against you

Pros

Fun, upbeat work environment. Great place to meet people especially if you are new to the city. Hiring like crazy, despite the recession.

Cons

Impossible to meet the goals that are set for you. New company that hires new grads so they don't have to deal with salary expections, or really any expectations at all.
