<H2>Employer Overview & Site Visit Information</H2>
Overview
Over its 26-year history, PLS Logistics Services has become one of the country’s leading logistics management services providers. We are based outside of Pittsburgh, PA in Cranberry Township & with offices currently in Jacksonville, FL, Tampa, FL, Houston, TX, Dallas, TX, Phoenix, AZ, Saint Louis, MO, Philadelphia, PA & downtown Pittsburgh, PA, and are continuously expanding! We have truly grown into a nationwide family. We take tremendous pride in our family & the work we do. Our people are the lifeblood of our organization. Their passion, dedication, energy, and camaraderie are what make PLS the company it is today. If you are looking for a cookie-cutter, 9-5 office job, this is NOT that place. We are not interested in the average Joe! At PLS, we work hard, play hard, and always have fun! We strive to make an impact not only in our industry but the communities we work in. We ship over one million loads annually across all major freight modes: flatbed, van, LTL, rail & barge, air & ocean. Our customers benefit from our broad PLS Transportation network of over 250,000 trucks representing 25,000 carrier partners, along with Class-1 railroads and major barge companies.

Site Visit Agenda
Our office is a dynamic sales floor with some of the best reps in the country. We are fast paced and hardworking but we also keep things relaxed with music and games. Come shadow the floor! Within the day you will meet with our lead Philadelphia recruiter who will take you through a general overview of the company and its history as well as the positions we have available and the career paths following those positions. You will receive a tour of the office as well. You will then be able to experience the floor. You will be shadowing sales reps at different stages of their career from trainee to team lead as well as Logistics Coordinators. We will have some hands on activities for you to give you an idea of what it is like to work in logistics and make sales! Over lunch, you will meet with our floor managers. They will discuss their career paths and how they entered the company and progressed to their current positions. We will review some trends in the industry to express what a changing environment we are working in. Here, there will be some time for you to ask them any questions you may have about our company or the industry. Lastly, there will be an opportunity to review your resume with our recruiter. She will be able to give you advice on how to improve them as well as your Linkedin pages.
