Pros

If you’re into the college fraternity vibe and scene this place is perfect for you.

Cons

-5 days PTO your first year (no sick time) -hardly any holidays observed -no flexibility -“office celebrations” = employees paying out of their own pockets to feed the office -no culture -all the managers WILL micromanage you -be prepared that if you don’t make sales to be fired by the end of the week -if you ever have a thought of working from home this is not the company for you -no paternity/maternity leave (if you want to have a family/or have one DONT WORK HERE) -expects all employees to be working 24/7 -pay raises are a complete JOKE -there is NO ROOM TO GROW.. -commission splits are PITIFUL Don’t waste your time at this company, most employees are “highly and constantly encouraged” to write reviews because the management knows they’re rating is bad and wants to increase it to bring in and fool more talent. They spend more money on expensive corporate trips and meetings than they do on actually supporting and giving back to the employees who are making them money. They do not consider you as a person, everyone is replaceable, devalued and pushed to be overworked with no extra compensation or benefits.

Pros

- Great benefits - Great people - Tons of opportunity for QUICK advancement (supervisor, manager, director, etc) - Aggressive and residual commission structure - Great training programs throughout your tenure at the company - Recession proof industry & company (privately held since 1995 and never done layoffs) - An incredible product, top of the line in the industry - The Knoxville office specifically is making a lot of strides in the right direction

Cons

Not necessarily cons, but important to know because this job is not for everyone. - It is a grind. You have to be willing to hear "I'm not interested" and not let it impact your next call. - You can't let it crush your spirit if you are "slow" to close your first deal. The big money is made in year 2, 3, 4, etc. You have to be willing to hustle for the first 2 years or so to build up a solid book. After that, you'll still be selling on the phones but you'll work a lot off of referrals and upsells. - Fragmented industry: there are a lot of competitors out there who offer completely different services than us. We are a top tier service/reliability based transportation brokerage and consultant. Sometimes the leads we call are used to lower level service than what we provide so you have to be able to show them that we are different than the people who burned them in the past. The hardest part will be getting the meeting set - once they see what we have to offer it is a no brainer

Thank you so much for this incredible review and for your five-plus years with Priority1! We love the way you framed it — high effort, high reward really does say it all. You've captured the Priority1 opportunity better than we ever could, and the growth you've shown from rep to Director of Sales in Knoxville is exactly the kind of story we love to see. We're proud to have ambitious, driven people like you on the team and we can't wait to see what's ahead.
