Is this your company?

Difficult to balance everything; Not a pure sales environment. - Account Executive PLS Logistics Services Employee Review

Pros

The company culture was very good. It was a laid back atmosphere where I felt free to take time to wind down by playing ping pong or taking a walk. There is plenty of support if you feel like you need help in a certain area between sales managers and office leaders. This position will give you the opportunity to build cold calling, lead generations, and closing skills but you also have to handle all the operations and billing which takes away from your time selling. The starting salary is also very attractive plus commission once you've been selling for a little while.

Cons

Doing well and hitting your quotas isn't 100% on you. You're subject to truck availability and the time it takes to actually arrange the transportation. Quotas don't take into account what time of year you start selling - not good when shipping slows down in the winter. It's also pretty difficult to become one of the heavy hitters, you almost have to land a large account which are few and far between at this point.

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.
