Pros

Work is a party atmosphere and you get a base salary while you are trying to earn commissions

Cons

This company is a joke. They pay you a base salary under $40k a year and tell you there is unlimited earning potential and you can make a quarter million or half million dollars a year LMAO you will be lucky if you ever make $100k/year only a few top earners make that. Almost everyone that works here is pretentious, also a lot of liars and narcissists working here. Tons of frat boy partying millennials that rent apartments and lease cars they can't afford and go into debt trying to act rich. The truth is you can make more money bartending then working at this crappy sales job but everyone that works here wants others to think they are rich and making a lot of money. This is logistics sales, if it was easy to make a few hundred thousand a year you would have doctors and professionals lining up at the door to work here. Almost all the 5 star reviews here are exaggerated or lies and they are being told by management/HR to leave these glowing reviews. I feel sorry for you if this is the best job you've ever had lol Also, I wonder why HR feels the need to reply and discredit any person trying to expose the truth and leave a negative review, that should be your first red flag about this company. The work life balance sucks they expect you to be on call 24/7 and put in 60+ hours a week. The guy that called this a "shady lying company" is spot on with his review.

Pros

The earning potential is real. If you're successful and able to build or inherit a strong book of business, you can make a very good income. You'll meet a lot of great people. Many of my coworkers have been hardworking, supportive, and fun to work with, and some of the friendships I've made here have been the best part of the job. The company genuinely puts effort into creating a fun office environment. There are team events, contests, and other activities throughout the year to keep morale up. The onsite kitchen is also a nice perk, with food, snacks, and drinks available, which is a nice bonus during long workdays.

Cons

The leadership culture often feels more focused on intensity than development. There is a constant "go, go, go" mentality, but very little structured sales coaching. Instead of providing a repeatable sales process, playbook, or strategy that newer account managers can follow, the expectation is simply to make more calls, send more emails, and work longer hours. If you're struggling, the advice is usually to increase activity rather than improve technique. Many of the leaders appear to have found success in this as their first sales role, which can make coaching feel limited to personal experience rather than proven sales methodologies. If you're looking to develop as a salesperson, don't expect much in the way of formal training or mentorship. The company also does a great job of showcasing the handful of people who have become extremely successful, reinforcing the message that anyone can achieve the same results. While those success stories are real, they don't always represent the experience of the average employee. A more accurate picture would include the many new hires who leave before reaching that level, whether due to burnout, turnover, or lack of opportunity. The culture is highly competitive and can feel cutthroat. Employees often feel like numbers whose value is tied directly to the revenue they produce for their general manager. If you aren't fortunate enough to land or inherit a quality account, building a sustainable book of business can be extremely difficult. The workload is intense, with an expectation that you're always available. Work life balance is poor, stress is consistently high, and it often feels like you're working 25 hours a day, 8 days a week. There are people who thrive in this environment, especially those with established accounts or who fit the company's aggressive sales culture. However, for someone expecting equal opportunity, strong coaching, and long term career development, the reality may be very different from the recruiting pitch.
