Pros

Autonomy & appealing freight offerings. Small company environment.

Cons

Depends on your location since it's a franchise. My office was managed by a micromanager, which made for a terrible work environment. Company is not ahead of the curve with technology and using tech to make their lives easier. Used a terrible CRM system when I was there, not sure if they moved onto SFDC yet, hopefully. You're strongly encouraged to resell UPS to small business owners who would appreciate the aggressive discount you give them in which UPS wouldn't ordinarily do. However this leads to undercutting not only FedEx but also UPS themselves! More than half the UPS deals our franchise sold was undercutting UPS themselves. Once the resold UPS account gets too large UPS can scoop it up for. Wasted a lot of time and effort to resell UPS to save customers $1,000 a year.... Base salary is very low and when I joined there wasn't a car allowance although I was told during the interview that there was one...

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
