Pros

As someone new to sales, I have really benefited from the extensive and ongoing training. The owners and management are genuinely invested in the success of the reps, and I get all the support and tools I need. This is the first job I've ever had where I felt like my compensation was directly tied to my effort and work ethic. There are also lots of opportunities for recognition on the local and national level. The service being offered to businesses carries real value, so I get to enjoy actually helping people. The smaller size of our office means a lot of one-on-one attention, but the reps are still allowed space to grow and play to their own strengths.

Cons

My commute to get to the office is very long, and long drives are sometimes required to get to appointments all over the SF Bay Area. The shipping industry can be difficult in general, so resilience is a must.

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
