Pros

The only pro at this company was that is filled a two year spot in my resume for future opportunities. Our office was treated to lunch 2 times a year and a christmas party at the end of the year.

Cons

The general manager of our office was the worst manager and person I've ever known. He treated everyone with disrespect, like they weren't worth the ground they stood on. If you're a transportation sales rep you'll make anywhere from 34-36k. They try and entice you with a 100 dollar a month commission if you hit unrealistic goals. If you're a sales rep and are a top producer like I was which is only about 5% of the 1000 sales reps they have - you'll make 55-60k. If you're mediocre, all your friends selling at a different company will make more money then you do. If you kiss the ground your manager stands on and are a yes man and stay with this company for 10 years, you'll make 80-90k and work with other 22-23 year olds making fart jokes every day. And the best part - if my general manager wasn't bad enough, he hired this over the hill sales manager who couldn't sell anything if his life depended on it to micromanage me and another sales rep. Take my advice when you work at this company you relinquish all your freedoms and work for a company who's motto is "like it or get out because I'll find someone who will like it and get paid less"

Pros

Not much that I can think of, would say its decent pay but they move the goal posts on goals every year so once you get comfortable with your goals and achieving your target to them hitting the reset button and back to square one

Cons

The culture has shifted in a very negative direction. Top performers can still feel boxed in by limited growth opportunities, changing expectations, and compensation structures that do not always reflect actual performance. There is a heavy focus on control, office attendance, and short-term metrics, while trust and morale continue to decline. It can feel political, exhausting, and disconnected from the people actually driving results. Very toxic for capacity reps, they do everything wrong and contstantly are the whipping posts for commercial teams who are always in the right
