Pros

(I don't know- I had to write something)

Cons

We don't know how many loads we do a month, what the revenue is, when people come/go, etc. We asked HR 5 months ago to implement a 30-minute company update meeting once a month for our department to keep us in the loop and got told that "it would cost too much money to do this." ^if that doesn't say it all, I don't know what does

Pros

Can’t even think of one

Cons

Start caring about your employees. After working for a new company for 3-4 years, I understand what it feels like to be a valued employee. PLS is a joke, not a single person in the organization cares about your wellbeing. All they care about is burning, turning, and churning. Sales process is considered cradle to grave.. more like work you into the grave. No work/life balance and little to no support for sales reps. Crap training, take advantage of college graduates. Some enjoy it I suppose, but only if you get handed accounts when others quit above you. Management is a crock, too much favoritism for promotions.

Pros

- It is fair pay - gain experience in sales and logistics - free drinks almost every Friday

Cons

- A bunch of recent college graduates talking to truck drivers that are usually not good people. "Some" of them are alcoholics and have been to prison multiple times, and you have to give them all the control in moving freight. - Co-workers will help you only if they like you, and even so you have a 90% failure rate at this company because they already have all the big players they need. They just need new graduates to move more freight for the big players in the office for a few months then get new graduates a few months later. They will toss you out like trash - One manager there only talked to me 6 times in the 7 months I was there. I counted. Didn't try to help me grow as a person only yelled if things went wrong. The other manager helped teach and was much better, but he still had to focus on his book of business mostly. - Just an overall trap for young college graduates, yeah you will get paid, but if you start working their you will be a pawn for the bigger players until you leave in usually 7 months time because you have to hit sales numbers which are extremely hard to hit when you have to create your own book of business. Only the big players survive. - If you start here you should have contacts already working here that are in high places, if you don't have that then you will have a very hard couple months ahead of you.

It’s disappointing to hear about your negative experience from the time you spent with us at PLS. We are constantly working to improve our comprehensive training program to make sure that our AET’s are prepared whenever starting the position. The account executive position is a great entry level position for individuals to grow into a sales position and gain experience in the sales & transportation industries. We strive to make a positive atmosphere here at PLS throughout all of our office locations. If you have any further suggestions, please contact us at publicrelations@plslogistics.com.
