Pros

Are you excited to get up and come to work everyday? Well, before I started working at Priority1 I wasn't either. Priority1 is growing which by itself makes things exciting. There are new challenges to tackle everyday and the environment is relaxed enough where you have the freedom to figure what works best. If you have an idea it doesn't have to go through 10 layers approval before you can put it in practice. We keep it simple. If it makes sense we do it! The benefits alone at Priority 1 make you want to be here. Those include a 15% profit sharing contribution, paid vacation/holidays, fully paid medical insurance for you AND your family, annual company contributions to your Health Savings Account and a very competitive salary on top of it all.

Cons

To this point I don't have anything that would be considered a downside to working at Priority1. As the title says, it's a great place to be.

Pros

- Great benefits - Great people - Tons of opportunity for QUICK advancement (supervisor, manager, director, etc) - Aggressive and residual commission structure - Great training programs throughout your tenure at the company - Recession proof industry & company (privately held since 1995 and never done layoffs) - An incredible product, top of the line in the industry - The Knoxville office specifically is making a lot of strides in the right direction

Cons

Not necessarily cons, but important to know because this job is not for everyone. - It is a grind. You have to be willing to hear "I'm not interested" and not let it impact your next call. - You can't let it crush your spirit if you are "slow" to close your first deal. The big money is made in year 2, 3, 4, etc. You have to be willing to hustle for the first 2 years or so to build up a solid book. After that, you'll still be selling on the phones but you'll work a lot off of referrals and upsells. - Fragmented industry: there are a lot of competitors out there who offer completely different services than us. We are a top tier service/reliability based transportation brokerage and consultant. Sometimes the leads we call are used to lower level service than what we provide so you have to be able to show them that we are different than the people who burned them in the past. The hardest part will be getting the meeting set - once they see what we have to offer it is a no brainer

Thank you so much for this incredible review and for your five-plus years with Priority1! We love the way you framed it — high effort, high reward really does say it all. You've captured the Priority1 opportunity better than we ever could, and the growth you've shown from rep to Director of Sales in Knoxville is exactly the kind of story we love to see. We're proud to have ambitious, driven people like you on the team and we can't wait to see what's ahead.
