Solid Position in the Logistics Industry
Pros
The management team is very clear about expectations and goals from the moment you start the interview process. This is a results-driven atmosphere, if you are hitting those expectations and goals, you are making a ton with lots of flexibility. If you don't produce, you probably won't be here very long, but that is the case with any Account Executive position. Since this is a franchise-based business, you get the best of both worlds in terms of being part of a Fortune 500 organization while having the feel of working for a small business. We get access to excellent pricing, products/services, and technology while still being nimble enough to retain customers with more personal/local support and service, which is something that the industry as a whole lacks.
Cons
This type of sales job is hard and not everyone is cut out for it, so there is turnover just like any other AE position. The most challenging part of the position is definitely the first few months when you are primarily cold calling/prospecting and building up your book of business. If you can see the light at the end of the tunnel and produce, you are certainly rewarded and doors will open.
