Pros

Fun people to work with and you gain okay experience.

Cons

I have a fond memory of a peculiar experience at a previous workplace. The manager at the time encouraged employees to write favorable reviews, promising rewards, possibly a free beer or lunch. However, this apparent attempt to boost morale didn't remedy the high turnover rate, indicating deeper issues within the company. Despite efforts to secure customers and meet quotas, success at the company remained elusive. The compensation wasn't commensurate with the challenges faced, making it less appealing for employees striving for professional growth and satisfaction. A notable concern was the VP of Sales, who seemed disconnected from the team. Leadership, interaction, and being a valuable resource for career development were noticeably absent. The ambiguity surrounding the VP's role left many employees questioning the purpose and impact of their superior. Adding to the company's challenges, they lost one of their most talented individuals to a competitor, If you're exploring options in the 3PL industry, other logistics companies might be worth considering. Might want to look at companies that don’t make you sign a non-compete, pay you a livable wage, and have plans place that help in your success. However, a more disconcerting aspect was the company's propensity for legal actions. They would sue employees, even those earning under 60k, to prevent them from working for competitors. This aggressive approach hindered career mobility within the logistics industry and could pose a significant obstacle for individuals seeking new opportunities. In light of these factors, my advice would be to approach this company with caution. Positive reviews might be misleading, possibly coerced or fabricated internally. Consider it as an option only if absolutely necessary during your job search, or if you are actively looking for alternative employment.

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.
