PLS Logistics Services reviews

1. No care for employees. Dennis Perri, the South Side Manager, berated me for not working when I took my wife to the hospital for a heart attack. 2. The product I sold was awful. I never beat a competitor in price, quality, or convenience. When I asked management for some success stories to help me understand our product's value, they said, "Your job is to make money for the company. Figure it out." Personally, I have to believe in the product I sell. All my sales came from phenomenal service (me.) 3.They have a model they want you to follow, however the model frequently breaks down. It takes hours out of your day to fix it, on top of everything else. Either provide quality IT or allow solutions that work. Greg Burns' model does not invest into human capital. When people decry "Uncaring Corporate America," PLS Logistics is the poster child. Other non-asset based 3PLs companies invest in their people at least a little bit. Not PLS. And this mentality is reflected in the management they hire.

The turnover rate. It's 90% at the least. Most people get fired after 2-6 months. Not a good company to start with if you're straight out of college and want a lasting position. 200 cold calls a day (25/hour) You get recycled leads that were contacted within the same month, that have already said no multiple times to multiple different AETs. Sometimes leads are people's personal cell phones and home phones. Management even encourages you to try personal numbers. You only get one week of training. You learn basic terminology and go over a script. No work/life balance. You work 7:45 AM - 5 PM (M-F, and the occasional Saturday every month), but also have to be vigilant about phone calls and emails from prospects and customers outside of working hours. You sign a non-compete in your offer letter.
