Pros

They hire fast if you’re in a bind.

Cons

The “good ole boys club” is this companies culture. Had to endure misogynistic comments from upper male management, unwanted touching and sexual advantages. Unrealistic KPI metrics with no true training plan for the role that I was in. Upper management uses the treasure and discard method to implement fear to encourage better performance and toxic competition. When the team asked for raises, we were told if you want more money sign more people. Unethical business practices to undercut their own clients. No formal HR reporting hotline, just encouraged to have a conversation with the vp of HR, which doesn’t work especially if you’d like to report higher level vp and executives. Fraternization is a big thing within this office so cliques are huge. Management is aware of bullying and hazing and either ignores or encourages the behavior. This is definitely not a company that roots for women, they don’t even have a maternity leave. Turn over is extremely high and they do not plan on fixing the issues because the make more off of their employees building books and forcing them to quit then actually paying them the extremely low commission structures.

Pros

Working at Priority1 offers the chance to engage with diverse people and gain insights into various niche industries. If you thrive on social interactions and enjoy continuous learning, this job might be a suitable match. Additionally, if you form a rapport with the high school-like leadership and are willing to accommodate demanding expectations, you could be rewarded with favorable account transfers. This company also boasts an intensive training program that sets a solid foundation for future roles elsewhere. For those seeking quick experience, Priority1 is an option, albeit not a viable long-term choice.

Cons

To begin, the initial promises outlined in the welcome packet regarding potential earnings can be quite unrealistic. While higher earnings are attainable, the reality is closer to $60,000-70,000 annually. When considering the hours worked, the compensation might not justify the effort. The lack of work-life balance is evident, with extended work hours and limited personal time. The position's feasibility varies by market, and it's challenging to sell a service that's perceived as less valuable than other models in the freight industry. The demanding nature of the role combined with the incongruent earnings potential makes it an uphill battle. Moreover, the extensive commute takes a toll on your vehicle, and the monthly car allowance doesn't always cover the costs. Flexibility in working from home or in a hybrid manner could alleviate this concern, but the company prefers a more traditional office presence. Expectations include long workdays with minimal breaks and administrative tasks relegated to non-selling hours. Commission structures, while taxed heavily, also present limited opportunities for substantial earnings due to recycled territories. The hierarchical favoritism leads to inherited accounts rather than performance-based allocations. Management exhibits inconsistent guidance, often blaming miscommunication on reps' performance. The mandated sales script seems artificial in hindsight. The absence of comprehensive leave, minimal PTO, and the lack of sick leave highlight the disregard for employees' personal lives. The corporate attitude seemingly treats employees as disposable, perpetuating a cycle of attrition. The claim of coaching often conceals a pattern of exploiting fresh graduates desperate for experience.

Pros

The environment is upbeat They do teach you what’s needed to do the job Provides skills to move up to a better job if you need the skill set

Cons

Full medical benefit that’s advertised is misleading, it’s a high deductible plan that’s as close to having no insurance as can possibly be without saying you have no insurance High turnover rate due to poor commission structure. Out of the Phoenix office, you have roughly a 28% chance of making any kind of commission at 6 months and that increases to about 34% after 8 months. Not many reps who’ve been there longer to compare after that range. $40k base is not enough.
