Pros

Learned a lot about logistics.

Cons

Job was very stressful and worked long hours. Had been told "you get out what you put in", but most of what you "get" happens with luck and timing. Hated the meetings after people were let go to "reassure" us our job was safe.. bogus. If you have one bad month no matter the circumstance you can pretty much kiss it goodbye. I also didn't understand the point of hiring such huge classes for a few months, fire a bunch of people and then no more hiring for months? What happens.. those who are supposed to be working on their new book of business are now also supposed to answer the phone more and help others out etc... there was team work, but not really. Those who had been there a long time didn't care about anyone else and still got away with it. And the games being "taken away until numbers are up" is ridiculous. We are supposed to be adults and have adult jobs, but treated like children? Don't tell me I'm allowed to take a break here and there, yet feel like all eyes on me if I choose to spend that break on a game for a few min... seriously hypocritical.

Pros

The Colleagues and relationships you make with your co-workers. Building a book of business, and fast paced environment. Unlimited Growth Potential.

Cons

The direction the company is headed in and the toxicity of an everchanging management structure. As someone who spent almost a decade with PLS; I can say fully and honestly, they do not care about you. This is a company to build experience with and move on from. If you are a $20K rep for more than 6 months, after you roll out, they will move off of you. You will be terminated with no second thought--other reps will poach your clients and potentially ruin any relationships. Furthermore, management tends to play favorites--If you show growth potential, they will feed you, but the moment you fail on one opportunity--you will be turned over. This is not the job for anyone who questions their own ability and work ethic. PLS Hires in classes - they will hire 30-40 people at a time, and in 3 months, 4 to 5 people of that class will remain. The turn over is extremely high and there is no job security. Finally, even if you are a top performer, they will not hesitate to get rid of you.
