Pros

Okay, so I read through enough negative comments from people who have not "made it" to finally reach the point where I thought it important that you hear from someone who LOVES it at PLS! First let me say this, I am extremely competitive, self starter with strong communication skills that loves to speak with people and find out the what, where, who, etc of their business and then find solutions that will help them execute their supply chains more effectively, and you know what I make great money doing it. The culture is great, my goodness we have a basketball court indoors that we use for many different contests or just to go play some "horse" if we are too stressed. We have cookouts all the time where the branch manager cooks for us and I love having SportsCenter playing in the background and music going all day. Leadership of the Branch is outstanding...I can not say enough about how strongly I feel about this place! Overall, we do have people that come in that must have interviewed well but when the time came to do the job they just did not have what it takes, sometimes that hurts the pride a little as I can see from some of the negative reviews. Thought it time you heard from the "other side of the fence."

Cons

Stressful Market conditions change quickly Logistics is never a well oiled machine, so many times there are last second changes that can happen, i.e. accidents with trucks, carriers that "fall of freight" that they agreed to take, etc

Pros

PLS has a great- young and fun- atmosphere! The company is growing rapidly and new opportunities pop up every day! We are like a family- who truly cares about each other- professionally and personally! This job is 100% full commission which is clearly not for everyone. In my 2 years of working for PLS, I have seen many new AETs come and go- but I have seem the same trends in everyone who has remained at PLS and has successfully built a book of business. The successful individuals here at PLS work hard, put in the hours, have a competitive- refuse to lose attitudes, and are determined to succeed. Others have commented that if you are looking to come to work and just collect a paycheck for the hours that you are here that this is the wrong job for you-- this statement could not be truer!! This is not a job for the faint of heart-- everyone who succeeds here earned it! PLS gives you the tools you need to learn and grow to be the best Account Executive you can be. No one micro-manages you or tells you exactly what to do minute-by-minute, but management is here for you when you need something, will exceed your expectations to help you accomplish whatever your task at hand may be, and will be there for you when you are having a tough day and just need to talk. The high stress level of this job can take a toll on you-- but that is what makes our office as fun as it is! We have a team surrounding us to pick us up when we start to feel like things are not going well, to crack jokes to improve our mood, and to offer suggestions to help you succeed. The comments stated negatively about PLS on this site are more than likely from individuals who are non-performers and complainers who couldn't handle the stress of this job, and couldn't sell on their own. Here we are given the opportunity to be our own boss, to have input on the direction of the company in its entirety and to succeed in a highly lucrative position. If you are a positive person, high energy, and motivated to succeed we would love to have you on our team here at PLS!

Cons

This is a fully commissioned position- your job relies on your work ethic-- for those of us who are successful here this is plus-- but if you do not have a solid work ethic this could be a con for you. This is also a highly demanding job, which is highly stressful-- if you do not learn how to deal with your stress in a positive manner this could also be a con for you.

Pros

PLS has a sound Business Model. The have developed technology and multi modal services that allow you to develop solutions for your customers. They have a great custoemr support team that will go the extra mile to help you and your customers. The company does look for it's own weaknesses and is working to make improvements and is also forward thinking to develop solutions for future customer and market demands. When I was interviewed and hired, it was made very clear that they company will provide great rewards for those that produce results and would not tolerate non performance in the long term. I started day one with no customers. I was able to bring on new customers and business to the extent that I was reconginzed in my 1st full yeat with recongniton into the Chairman's Club. This recognition went to the top perfromers in teh company. My wife and I were treated to a all expense paid weekend to South Beach, Fl. This is a results oriented company and they have provided me with what I needed to be successful. It was up to me to be motivated and work hard each day to be successful.

Cons

Company expects you to produce results and will not tolerate poor perfromance long term. If you are not interested in working in a fast paced industry and company this would not be an ideal place for you to work.
