Pros

PLS offers a great work environment. Young people who are highly motivated to make money and have fun while doing it. Very competitive sales environment. Training period lasts just long enough to fully prepare you to run your own account. *If you do not know much about the industry when you first start, I can guarantee you will be very knowledgeable by the time you start selling on your own account* Any resources you need to be successful at this job are provided to you, it is just up to you to take advantage of them. You are essentially running your own business, so you must be able to come in every single day and cold call to build your book of business. If you think you have what it takes, and put in the work, time, and energy into this job, you will most defintiely see the benefits (both in terms of recognition and pay). There is no cap to the amount of commission you can earn, the sky is the limit. PLS is expanding fast, with offices in Pittsburgh, PA, Jacksonville, FL, Houston, TX and the newest openings for 2014 in Dallas, TX and Tampa, FL (many more to come). Also, with expansion comes openings for management opportunites over time.

Cons

If you are not prepared to come in every single day and cold call to build your business, then this is not the job for you. This job is a lot of hard work, but the benefits should be what drive you to continue to push for sales each and every day.

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.
