Pros

One of the best opportunities I have ever looked into. Hard work and effort are directly translated into profits. Rates and relationships with carriers is far better than any other 3PL. Once the economy turns around, there will be no stopping our growth.

Cons

Rough ride having to switch from DHL to UPS. Still have issues to resolve and improve in this area. Corporate must work harder to assist those franchise that are "doing" and getting it done versus worrying about those that can't seem to get it in gear.

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
