Pros
Okay, so I read through enough negative comments from people who have not "made it" to finally reach the point where I thought it important that you hear from someone who LOVES it at PLS! First let me say this, I am extremely competitive, self starter with strong communication skills that loves to speak with people and find out the what, where, who, etc of their business and then find solutions that will help them execute their supply chains more effectively, and you know what I make great money doing it. The culture is great, my goodness we have a basketball court indoors that we use for many different contests or just to go play some "horse" if we are too stressed. We have cookouts all the time where the branch manager cooks for us and I love having SportsCenter playing in the background and music going all day. Leadership of the Branch is outstanding...I can not say enough about how strongly I feel about this place! Overall, we do have people that come in that must have interviewed well but when the time came to do the job they just did not have what it takes, sometimes that hurts the pride a little as I can see from some of the negative reviews. Thought it time you heard from the "other side of the fence."
Cons
Stressful Market conditions change quickly Logistics is never a well oiled machine, so many times there are last second changes that can happen, i.e. accidents with trucks, carriers that "fall of freight" that they agreed to take, etc
