Pros

-Stability -9-5, no work on specific holidays, weekends off. -Paid for lunch sometimes

Cons

-Management demonstrates little to no management skills. Managers are condescending, belittling, and lack foresight when it comes to confidentiality and proper workplace behavior. VERY PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE COMMUNICATION. Managers openly discussed worker-related health issues without regard to privacy. Managers openly discussed inappropriate topics about their workers in the workplace. No SOPs that are department wide. Managers can also be vindictive. -Stress levels are high, due to the kind of work involved. Many angry customers, customers unwilling to research what should be done in regards to freight/small parcel shipping. Customer often expect everything handed to them - this may be partly due to Unishippers Shipping Consultants (sales reps) not properly explaining procedures, etc. -Skills not utilized properly according to skill set. Many here lack skills for computer troubleshooting, basic communication skills, and etiquette for workplace. -Pay is low compared to other salaries in the 3PL field. -Favoritism for certain employees.

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
