Pros

The biggest pro is that you are guaranteed to get a full time offer, degree or no degree (none required). Casual office attire.

Cons

Like the other posts, I find it very strange that one finds pages of good reviews before getting to the scoop on the true PLS. It raises the question of how they got so many good reviews - I would like an answer to how they got employees to say such things - incentives? The company is essentially a pyramid scheme in the sense that they ride new employees to sign up new customers that are then gifted to the long term personal. They preach unethical behavior (a few specifics so their public relations can't give me a hard time) such as screwing over carriers out of detention and even going after prospects that are within the 60 days rule on salesforce. The job usually lasts 6 months or 9 if you succeed. Sales training consists of a 30 minute slide show. **changed to overtime when the law was going to shift and then changed back to longer hours and no OT after the injunction in Texas...... **

Pros

The Colleagues and relationships you make with your co-workers. Building a book of business, and fast paced environment. Unlimited Growth Potential.

Cons

The direction the company is headed in and the toxicity of an everchanging management structure. As someone who spent almost a decade with PLS; I can say fully and honestly, they do not care about you. This is a company to build experience with and move on from. If you are a $20K rep for more than 6 months, after you roll out, they will move off of you. You will be terminated with no second thought--other reps will poach your clients and potentially ruin any relationships. Furthermore, management tends to play favorites--If you show growth potential, they will feed you, but the moment you fail on one opportunity--you will be turned over. This is not the job for anyone who questions their own ability and work ethic. PLS Hires in classes - they will hire 30-40 people at a time, and in 3 months, 4 to 5 people of that class will remain. The turn over is extremely high and there is no job security. Finally, even if you are a top performer, they will not hesitate to get rid of you.
