Don - Logistics Account Executive Total Quality Logistics Employee Review

Recruiter successfully scammed me through the door... congrats Was placed on a brokers account that literally treated me like a slave on a day to day basis. You literally are there to do the terrible task of negotiating with truckers all day long. Beating them down on price until you find the one poor soul willing to take the garbage rate you pay them. Then turn around and lie to your customers and add up to $1000 dollar margins. Then tell yourself that you are offering a "premium" service to help you sleep at night. That is only if you are so lucky to even land a customer that isn't aware of what trucks are actually getting paid! The age of the broker is quickly coming to an end. Many of the companies they ask you to prospect know exactly what the "truck rate" is, and they laugh at you when you try and overcharge them. Lunch breaks were extremely frowned upon, you are looked down upon if you don't stay late every day to prospect. Definitely just a revolving door of a company that will employ any tactic at its disposal to get some poor soul through the doors, then fill his head with talks of "uncapped earning potential" and proceed to spit them onto the streets after their 7-8 months of slave labor. There is some success, but you must truly be sucking up to the team leaders to make it these days. It is amazing how shamelessly favoritism is exhibited in the office. The people who suck up get the few terrible customers that become available after some burnt out rep decides that he has had enough. The whole company is on a dangerous path, hiring increasingly in an already saturated market. It really wouldn't take much of a technology break through to render TQL totally obsolete. Walking out of those doors was one of the most refreshing things I've done in years.
