First Star Logistics

It’s a standard logistics broker job, but they refuse to get any kind of technology that actually helps them because they don’t want to pay for it. For example, I had full access to ZoomInfo Sales and Engage and it’s a prospecting dream come true. And said they use cheap free websites that hardly give you any kind of information and hardly are up-to-date. This isn’t 1995. Please get with the technology that is available. Cold calls are only getting harder and you need all the information you can to get through.

Do not work here especially if you have little experience. The management is too busy complaining about other coworkers and playing the golf video game in the office to be bothered with your questions on how to be better at your job. They kept giving me inaccurate numbers on my performance and when I would show them that they were wrong, they just blew it off and fired me for poor performance anyways. I’m my opinion they did this so they could feed the new hires with my companies..in order to keep them interested long enough for them to be able to gain some new customers, just so they could fire them and feed the buddy system and distribute your good customers to them 

A typical day at work was exciting, I enjoyed coming to work. I learned about cold calling, business sales, and insurance verification. I learned that management is hard working, dedicated, and willing to help. My co-workers were all well educated about the company and motivated for sales. The hardest part of my job was leaving work because there was always so much to do. The most enjoyable part of my job was learning something new every day and dealing with new customers.

A typical day at work consisted of processing driver applications. interacting with other terminals vie email and phone. Processing motor vehicle reports, setting up drug screenings and entering approved drivers in the data base system. I learned to be tolerant of co-workers with bad attitudes. The hardest part of my job was dealing with a manager that has a bad temper and took his moods out on other people. The most enjoyable part of my job was that everyday was different

First Star management shows true care for its employees and has cultivated a culture of hard work, collaboration and innovation. Part of management's approach is to keep the work place fun. The office has a popcorn machine, massage chairs and even a money machine where employees get rewarded for achievements.

Hard work equals big pay at First Star Logistics. Being a broker is hard work but they pay the highest commissions in the industry. They offer all the resources necessary to make you successful. Great management team that has put helpful people in all the right places. This was the best career decision I have ever made !

After you get clients, they keep them and then you are cut as soon as commissions should be cut. Upper 5 people who run things are all in each other’s back pockets to get into yours.
You are made to sign away your career in this field for 2-3 years. Management brags about who they fire in meetings to get people motivated.

Your work day is consisting of making numerous phone calls either trying to find companies that need help moving their freight. Or getting trucks to move the lods that you have with said compaines.

First Star has been the best place to work. They are 100 percent invested in their employees and make the office a fun and enjoyable place to be. I couldn't be happier with the decision to leave my old company to come work for First Star

First Star is an excellent place to work!  Very good office atmosphere with great coworkers who are always willing to help.  Unlimited earning potential with the highest paying commissions in the industry.
