Pros
1. Culture- The culture and the company's training and development are my biggest pros. The balance between enjoying work and working hard at the St. Louis office is makes it an ideal place to build a career with. The office manager really sets this in motion and it was obvious that it trickles down with everyone else. 2. Training- I didn't have a strong understanding of the 3PL and Freight industry before PLS's training. PLS uses a multi-prong approach: class room, experiential, and mentoring to teach their trainees everything they need to know about the industry before they start talking with customers and carriers. That helped alot. 3. Opportunities to Grow- I could see that PLS is a company that values promoting from within. I noticed that they emphasized positions in other parts of the company to current PLS employees.
Cons
The freight industry starts a little earlier than the traditional 9-5.
