Pros

- Best hands on training. - Great first step into logistics/sales. Hires out of college with little to no experience. - Starting salary of 50k/annual. - Great starting benefits. Health and all. - $500 Free Car Allowance. - Commissions CAN be great. Additional pay on your check.

Cons

- After training, you are alone. Set cold meetings or meetings with current customers (only way to get upper management to show up). - 100-120 calls a day (If in office) and 40-50 doors pulled (if on the field) - QUOTA HEAVY: Bills (Trucks Moved/Day), Meetings Set/Attended, GP (Gross Profit Earned/This is how you get paid extra through commission), Paper Closes (Credit Applications), and Activations (Businesses that start to ship with Priority1) - Hit your numbers or be put on a performance plan and a corrective action plan or goodbye after 6-8 months (Job Security?) - When you leave, they will give your customers that you built to the next person. If working in logistics again, then you need to fight for your book again. If not, then who cares. - Too much free time alone... If not detailed oriented and organized with your day-to-day, you will be lost and behind.

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.
