Pros

- It is fair pay - gain experience in sales and logistics - free drinks almost every Friday

Cons

- A bunch of recent college graduates talking to truck drivers that are usually not good people. "Some" of them are alcoholics and have been to prison multiple times, and you have to give them all the control in moving freight. - Co-workers will help you only if they like you, and even so you have a 90% failure rate at this company because they already have all the big players they need. They just need new graduates to move more freight for the big players in the office for a few months then get new graduates a few months later. They will toss you out like trash - One manager there only talked to me 6 times in the 7 months I was there. I counted. Didn't try to help me grow as a person only yelled if things went wrong. The other manager helped teach and was much better, but he still had to focus on his book of business mostly. - Just an overall trap for young college graduates, yeah you will get paid, but if you start working their you will be a pawn for the bigger players until you leave in usually 7 months time because you have to hit sales numbers which are extremely hard to hit when you have to create your own book of business. Only the big players survive. - If you start here you should have contacts already working here that are in high places, if you don't have that then you will have a very hard couple months ahead of you.

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.
