Get the corporate work experience, but understand you’re meant for so much more
Pros
- Can stack some good foundational capital right out of college - Training was okay, but could use a lot of improvement - Fridays were pretty nice looking back on it
Cons
- Sales scripts don’t sell in this day in age - Buyers are informed and intelligent, add value on the operational side since the pricing isn’t anything special - Unishippers is backed by private equity, that means you will be cold calling all day - These people do not care about you, you are just a number on a spreadsheet - 7% commission is fixed, go to a company that offers tiered commission so you actually get more for the money you make for the company - Management will not give you space to breathe, expect to be micromanaged regardless of performance - You will have to spend extra time after work servicing accounts - You are expected to do things outside of your moral compass, research the lawsuits and that will pretty much tell you everything (Goes back to being backed by private equity) - No company match - Will get sold a dream, not the actual reality - Very high turnover, churn and burn environment
