PLS Logistics Services reviews about "manager"

PLS Logistics is hands down one of the worst places I’ve ever worked. The turnover rate is easily over 90%, and it’s obvious why almost immediately. “Training” is a joke. You get about a week of rushed, surface-level sessions over Teams, often run by someone overseas, and then you’re thrown to the wolves with zero real support. Managers don’t train, don’t help, and don’t seem to care whether you succeed or fail. The entire system feels set up to burn through new hires. They bring people in, push them to find new business, and then once you’ve built up accounts, you’re at risk of being let go—only for those accounts to get handed off to senior reps or favorites. It’s a churn-and-replace cycle. Favoritism is blatant. If you’re not part of the “in crowd,” don’t expect fair opportunities or treatment. Hard work doesn’t matter nearly as much as who you’re liked by. On top of that, professionalism in management is questionable. There are leaders who clearly shouldn’t be in leadership roles, and some behavior I witnessed was completely inappropriate for a workplace. This is not a career-building company—it’s a burnout factory. If you’re thinking about working here, do yourself a favor and go literally anywhere else.

Horrible upper management and office leader

Not a job where you can expect to grow and succeed without putting in extra effort.

Long hours, stress, pay on commission, expectations on building your book of business. Leads are terrible, lots of bad or wrong numbers, and recycled from others who reached out only weeks ago.

Long hours and hybrid work

manager doesn't like new guys but I'm sure he's great outside the office

1. No care for employees. Dennis Perri, the South Side Manager, berated me for not working when I took my wife to the hospital for a heart attack. 2. The product I sold was awful. I never beat a competitor in price, quality, or convenience. When I asked management for some success stories to help me understand our product's value, they said, "Your job is to make money for the company. Figure it out." Personally, I have to believe in the product I sell. All my sales came from phenomenal service (me.) 3.They have a model they want you to follow, however the model frequently breaks down. It takes hours out of your day to fix it, on top of everything else. Either provide quality IT or allow solutions that work. Greg Burns' model does not invest into human capital. When people decry "Uncaring Corporate America," PLS Logistics is the poster child. Other non-asset based 3PLs companies invest in their people at least a little bit. Not PLS. And this mentality is reflected in the management they hire.

The pay isn’t worth the stress. They treat you like a number. They don’t prepare you at all to become successful for the entry level role. I worked here two years ago, and I know if you are working here right now, you are experiencing mental exhaustion, lol. Sales managers play favorites and don't take any accountability. I remember the sales manager lashing out at me because I asked a question in the office. His face turned red over a concern that could’ve been handled in a much better manner.

This place actually had a negative impact on my health and that's when I finally turned in noticed. Mid level management does not care about workers and does not provide the basic tools to get the job done. Managers are put to manage teams and don't understand what they actually do on a day-to-day basis and they aren't held accountable to actually learning it. Very unhappy with the way this company is headed.
