Pros

If you're new to sales, or are comfortable with making a lot of calls and repeating yourself over and over again, and if you have tenacity, you can make a pretty decent living. I would suggest this position to a recent college graduate or young person to get their feet wet in sales.

Cons

There isn't much more to the position than what you learn in the first month. Depending on the independent company under the Unishippers umbrella, the focus will either be small package or freight shipping. I believe most of the companies focus on freight. You will be making the same phone calls over and over again, saying the same things, and facing a LOT of rejection. As a result there is a very high turnover. These are independently owned franchises and the benefits are lacking due to a lack of size in the group. The franchise I worked for had an HSA.

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
