Pros

Nice old building. Owners provide free food. Some decent and friendly people work there. There are a couple cats that are fun.

Cons

Benefits are terrible. Owner doesn't understand the concept of salary and will doc pay even though some weeks you work well over 40 hours. Sales training at the franchise level is an unorganized mess. Owner tries to blame the person for not being a self-starter but she is clueless and not professional. The owner's big motivator is to constantly threaten to fire people. The owner talks to the staff like they are little children and thinks she is better than everyone else. Nepotism is a common practice and staff is must deal with owner's children who text during meetings and whistle in the middle of meetings. Yes, just rudely starts whistling during a meeting! The owners act like they are big time when in the grand scheme of things the company is a tiny fish in a small pond and the opportunities are no where near as great as they sell them in the interview.

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
