Pros

A lot of these reviews are correct in that, like any other job if you don't work hard you will not find success. This position is unique in that if you do work hard, you can have a tremendous amount of success. This job does involve cold calling and sales because that's how you build your book of business. They've recently revamped their sales training program to better prepare young reps for the transition into running their own book. I was initially skeptical of the job when I started however, I love the people I work with and the work environment. The dress code is pretty relaxed, which certainly beats wearing a suit every day. I've made a lot of friends who have been helpful whenever I've asked for advice, that includes management. I also like that they tend to promote from within. I've worked for several companies that routinely overlooked internal options for promotion. We regularly receive emails if positions within the company open up.

Cons

For me, the beginning transition to running my own book was a bit difficult. However, as I mentioned they are revamping that process and providing more in-depth training for that process.

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.
