Pros

Good base pay for Sales.

Cons

Terrible commission structure. Capped commission, difficult to understand structure before you accept the offer. My office has an ineffective manager- when things are going poorly and he's receiving pressure from his superiors, he get frazzled, doesn't know what to do, and is visibly stressed and angry. The DC West office has had about 50% turnover in the past 6 months. 9 days of PTO altogether for your first calendar year, which in this area with traffic accidents and illness is ridiculous. They find very creative ways to put blame on you, keep money you've earned, and ask you to make up for other people's mistakes. Not a good company to work for. Mid Level management will never take your side on anything, it's like they're puppets parroting what upper level management says, nothing more. My manager isn't even knowledgeable about anything I ask him to do with the company. Professionalism and corporate practices. policies, and procedures are lacking, severely.

Pros

- Can stack some good foundational capital right out of college - Training was okay, but could use a lot of improvement - Fridays were pretty nice looking back on it

Cons

- Sales scripts don’t sell in this day in age - Buyers are informed and intelligent, add value on the operational side since the pricing isn’t anything special - Unishippers is backed by private equity, that means you will be cold calling all day - These people do not care about you, you are just a number on a spreadsheet - 7% commission is fixed, go to a company that offers tiered commission so you actually get more for the money you make for the company - Management will not give you space to breathe, expect to be micromanaged regardless of performance - You will have to spend extra time after work servicing accounts - You are expected to do things outside of your moral compass, research the lawsuits and that will pretty much tell you everything (Goes back to being backed by private equity) - No company match - Will get sold a dream, not the actual reality - Very high turnover, churn and burn environment
