Vantaggi

-Do Have Ability to make money if you get lucky or put it in A LOT of time (I'm not talking putting in 60 hour weeks, you'll be doing that anyway) -Good Benefits

Svantaggi

Please note that this is not a rant about how much I dislike TQL or about how management is terrible or etc. etc. I still work there currently. This is just advice that I would have liked to known before I began working here. -Must spend first 6 months doing someone elses work for them while they bank out (which could be worse) -You work the day before and the day after: Thanksgiving, New Years, and yes X-mas too (you don't get time off). If you work away from your family don't expect to see them for holidays at all -You will work 3/4 Saturdays for a while, then 2/4, and eventually 1/4 but that's the best it gets -If you do make it, you will get a call EVERYNIGHT in in the middle of the night usually reagarding some mistake/error/mishab that occured from a truck driver or shipper --You're never really on break and are always on call -You are talking to truck drivers and dispatchers all day--If you cant deal with telling your friends that or will feel ashamed of telling others that then this job isn't for you--you will always feel ashamed about the job and will most likely start looking for new ones -I currently work there and will work there until I find something better..If I would have just been a bit more patient and kept interviewing with other companies then I def. could have landed a job that I would be more happy at..the question really comes down to do you think you're going to be able to locate A JOB in the near future: If yes, chances are the job is probably a better offer/opportunity than this one. -Overall advice: Wait if you can. If you can't, then you have to pay the bills and take it. If you have a solid degree, internship/work experience, and average interview skills, there's really no reason you should be considering this job. I hope this helps.

Frat House environment if that's what you're into.

Svantaggi

Where do I even start.... My first week there the sales manager, whose account I was supposed to look over and be trained by, was gone for the whole week. The desk spot they put me at was next to this JBL party box, making it virtually impossible to communicate over the phone. When you're in the training phase you literally do all the work for the account manager, then you're expected to make cold calls to people that want no part in TQL. When you do get someone on the phone and make a sale, you wont be seeing any of that money. They have a commission draw set up where you have to be making a certain amount of revenue before you can make commission- thus leaving you to the measly 43k salary. These recruiters and managers SELL you a false dream, the turnover rate there is astronomical for a reason. They will hire anyone that'll learn the system, use them for labor for 6 months, cut them when they don't meet the ridiculous KPI metrics. To be actually successful here you either have to work near 60+ hours a week for YEARS waking at 4am to "snipe" accounts that have been released due to inactivity, or be handed an account by a retiring SR level manager. RUN from this company!
