Pros

For anyone researching a position at WWEX, you need to know one thing: this is a sales company. We work hard, play hard. For the right person, this is an awesome opportunity. There is a great basic sales training for every new class of reps in Dallas, TX. Following this training are a number of other continuous training conferences both at the franchise and corporate level. Every franchise is different (some larger than others) but at the corporate level this company is growing rapidly and it's a really exciting time to get in at the ground level because it's only going to keep getting bigger. I personally belong to one of the top tier franchises, so I have access to a lot of resources and successful members of the company on a daily/weekly basis. It's all promote from within, so the growth opportunities are endless and senior management is extremely active at the local level. Great base salary plus benefits and a residual commission structure makes even the toughest days on the job worth it. The best thing about worldwide is definitely the culture. I made lifelong friends with members of my training class in Dallas, and my local team is amazing. We all have similar personalities and the environment is supportive yet very competitive as well. Like I said before, it's a very work hard play hard attitude around here. If you work hard, want to make money, and have a good time doing so then I would recommend my company 100%.

Cons

Every job has a downside... - Can have some pretty long days (10-12 hrs) - Some people hate life and are thus very rude to you, and getting kicked out of buildings isn't all that fun either. - Figuring out the whole work/life balance thing takes some effort up front Other than that, they don't ask much of you besides to work your butt off... not really all that bad if you ask me!

Pros

You receive a week of paid training at the Hilton in Dallas. I formed many life-long friends from my training class, and although I am no longer with the company I still am in touch with the reps from my class. By far the best training program there is; it is very motivating and intense. The company culture is fantastic and you could win a lot of money from the contests. Good opportunities for advancement.

Cons

The interview did not prepare me for the actual job functions. The owner interviewed me and did a great job describing the company and culture, the trips our office would take, holidays parties, etc. I was under the impression it was an account manager position, and that I would be serving clients. You actually spend 85% of your time cold calling business-to-business, and will be forced to knock on at least 50 doors everyday. You will be expected to set up an appointment with the owner within the first few weeks. If you can't handle rejection, I would suggest not looking into this job. People will be very rude, since you are technically soliciting. I was kicked out of a prestigious office building my first week on the job. The business model is very outdated, as they only want you to start at the top, going above a VP of Ops, Controllers, etc. and set meetings with Owners and Presidents. Business owners could care less about a $250/week FedEx invoice, and you will waste your time trying to get them to meet you-the VP of Operations is there for a reason. I lost an account because I spent too much time trying to get the President on the phone; that same week a large competitor closed the Purchasing Manager. You have no control over not being able to "win" an account, as they very often can change their mind or go with another logistics company at the last minute. More often than not, we weren't actually able to price accounts, and the customer was getting better discounts than we could offer. This affects your closing ratio and will make you look unsuccessful. There is little customer appreciation, and you will lose accounts this way. They describe the base salary as being $35K-$40K+ with "uncapped commissions; it's closer to $23K+. It will take over a year to actually gain traction in your customer base and receive actual commissions over $400.
