Pros

As 1 of many 3rd parties out there, Unishippers stands out because of the spectrum of services they offer. There is a UPS partnership which i believe only one other 3rd party has, LTL, FTL, and recently added LTL International. This really helps when you walk in to a door and they need solutions in various departments. Like any other sales career, you have to put in time and effort to gain success. They have recognition for top performers for all who qualify, not just top top 3 , top 5, top 10 etc... if you reach a goal you win a trip and cash, pretty neat incentive for being good at your job. Most franchises have great customer support , which can relieve sales with customer retention and allow sales to close more and more business!

Cons

Because of so many services provided, there may be information overload for a person who know nothing about shipping, which can cause some personnel become a little impatient. I dont feel we lead in technology or fall behind it, but it could be a little better from internal use to customer use.

Pros

This is a franchise based company so different cities have different support systems. The technology in some cases can be an advantage. The partnership with UPS allows Unishippers to offer more than just about any 3PL in the domestic marketplace. Carrier relations with LTL are great.

Cons

Research your franchise support system. Do you they have adequate UPS & Freight personnel? If so, move onto management and overall track record of success.

Pros

- Serious potential to make $50k+ in your first year and six figures by year three. Unishippers is a franchise. Some franchise locations are amazing and some are horrible. If you get in with a good franchise they will take really good care of you. - Very good mid-level sales job that can be used as a springboard into a major sales position at another company.

Cons

- Do not work for the Indiana, Ohio or Idaho locations. These are all ran by the same franchise and their Sales Manager is rancid. He is constantly demoralizing and demeaning his employees. - There is no long term potential with this company. At any franchise, plan to stay there no more than 3 years. Your growth at this point will plateau and you will probably be making more than the owner. The best way for him to significantly increase his margin over night is to fire you.
