Pros

Unishippers provides a solid foundation for a career in sales. They provide good sales training, a good product to sell, and the flexibility to manage your own success. Unishippers is a great stepping stone to gain experience and move on in your professional career. If you can find a specific industry nitch, then there may be opportunity for great success.

Cons

Unishippers is limited in their global reach and diversity. They are particularly strong in the domestic LTL and Small Parcel market, however, they are not very strong in the international market (ie. air freight, ocean freight, customs brokerage, cross-dock, supply chain management). Also, their system for sales reps could be better. They impose a margin requirement which doubles each month. It eventually ends up eating into your profit margins and burns out the sales rep. It is no surprise why sales reps don't last there more than about a year or two.

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
