 RTS Factoring is straight up phone sales . You are expected to make 80+ outbound calls, and have 1.5 hours of outbound talk time per day. The freight market is an absolute mess right now, and NO ONE being hired post Covid is making the money the recruiters give you for your "on target" earnings not even close to the low end. You are calling on leads that have been called/worked over numerous times by over hundreds of reps in over 8 total offices. If you have no tenure there are a million loopholes to get your business that you found, taken by a more tenured rep. The rules that protect your leads and opportunities that you've developed also happen to change every 3 months.

We sell against our competitors on our "Customer Service and no fees, our tremendous back office, and tech." All a joke. We sell on rate and thats it. That's how you get deals. What we sell can be useful, but I think what we sell and how we sell it is unethical. We ruin people's businesses, credit, and lives. We add months to their contract and add fees and wait to see if the carrier notices. Nice!

The management team knows everything there is about freight. However they know very little about managing people. There is little to no mentorship, coaching, development, direction..  really anything once you're out of training. You either sink or swim. And if you're sinking, there is no " what can we do to help " its " you need to make more calls, find new areas to prospect, and close more deals " which in this market is easier said then done. You are walking on egg shells each and every day to close enough deals. People are scared to give feedback, people are scared to take a full lunch, people are scared to take PTO if they don't have enough deals. Talk about a wonderful atmosphere to work in.

A new hire class comes in every other week while 70% of the sales team are being placed on PIPs for not having enough deals. So it makes sense to just keep hiring MORE people right??? Turnover is extremely high, outside of 15 or people most people haven't been there 3 years plus.

Policies change every day. There are Shamrock Policies and there are factoring polices. The factoring polices are dependent on the day, the person, if the chiefs won, or if the sky is blue today. Managers pick and choose when they allow exceptions, but so many exceptions end up being made the rule just no longer makes sense. This is not a hybrid job if you are in factoring sales. You are in office. You'll get 52 " work from home" days, but you cannot use them depending on the policy they decide to implement that day. 

Now, lets talk about the money.

The first year averages? Throw those out of the window. Those are averages from 2019-2020 when people were calling US not us calling them. It takes an immense amount of time to build your book, so plan not making money until year 2 or 3. Potential gets thrown around a lot and I agree, there is potential to make a lot of money at RTS. But the people telling you that are the ones that started long before covid and make $5-$10K in commission each month on top of their base.  You are paid a base salary 48K-60K  and a 2K signing bonus based on your title which means nothing, you all do the same thing. If you quit before 1 year you pay that back. (You're welcome). The company pays 100% of your medical, vision, and dental (this is how they get you) offers a 401K contribution up to 3% after your first year (this does not mean they match your contribution %) and offers an ESOP program which you're eligible to participate in after year 1. You are not vested in either until year 7. And most people don't last 7 years so think of that as nothing!

All in all, there are some great people at RTS. A lot of great people that got comfortable. A lot of great people who's potential is being wasted in a call center. This company has the potential to be very good. But it is not right now. 

If you're a kid out of college, this could be a great first venture into the corporate world. But if you've been around the block, or have any previous REAL sales experience I highly recommend you keep looking.

Hope this helps!


My role supports other more common roles so training was very minimal. I don’t have a regular check-in cadence with my boss and have little visibility to my team since we don’t sit close, so coming into work can feel unnecessary most days and lonely, however is mandated by my boss. I get 52 remote days a year (average 1 a week), however other departments get 2 days and more work from home flexibility. WFH / hybrid model is really beneficial for work/life balance as I’m more productive at home when I can control my work environment. Employees need WFH/hybrid training to communicate the benefits of being on camera and how to stay connected when working virtually. Managers should have training on how to manage and team-build. Employees need training on cleaning up after themselves and respecting the work atmosphere. I’ve never worked somewhere where employees are this messy and don’t clean up after themselves in break room spaces and are wasteful. For example, many documents get printed but never get picked up and they just lay around until someone throws them in the shred bin. Paid medical is nice but we only get 8 holidays and 3 weeks PTO, could use another week of PTO or more holidays since my former company provided 12 holidays, with multiple days for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Parental leave is ok, 2 weeks, but for how well the company is doing, I feel like this could easily be a month or more. Daycare benefits would be a wonderful addition as it’s difficult to find care and it’s expensive.

bad about you all the time behind your back they threaten you with your job if you don’t want to work on your days off which sucks already since you have split days off you never know what time your going to start since the bakery are the ones that get the loads ready there so short handed on drivers they can’t even train you right and expect you to know everything in 2 the 3 days if you don’t they get all mad at you when not only are they not giving you enough time to learn most of the time the trainers suck they see you as there slave want you to do all the work for them and they’ll just want to unload i worked there for over a year thinking it would get better and it only got worse I don’t see that place getting better for two reason one the Manager that runs it don’t know much about the customers account he thinks he does but he doesn’t always forgets thing then blames it on others two that account they have is really hard for a lot of reasons

After spending multiple years here, I had the lovely opportunity of having a “higher up”, (who had previously promoted me from a different role), let me know that I was being demoted, my work from home was being taken away, and that I would be moved to a new team. She did this after stating “we haven’t met before”, we had. Multiple times. This was done with no warning, no opportunity to better myself, and no warning to my direct supervisor. This happened to myself and multiple others in my same position. Some were fired with no verbal or written warning. Stay away from operations if you can. They will constantly change your job responsibilities and description, offer little no support, and insist on your direct supervision reprimanding you if you ask questions in “department meetings”. Don’t buy into the RTS way, it’s your run of the mill corporate job. I truly did enjoy the people that I worked with on my team and directly daily. Upper management is insincere, entitled, and lacks self awareness of their short comings. 

I had a great experience working with Shamrock Trading Corporation in Atlanta. The company provides a fast-paced, high-energy environment that really pushes you to grow both professionally and personally. If you’re motivated and willing to put in the effort, there’s a lot of opportunity to learn and succeed here.

One of the biggest positives is the training and development. They do a solid job of helping you understand the industry, build confidence in sales, and improve your communication skills. Management is supportive and wants to see you win, especially if you show initiative and a strong work ethic.

The culture is competitive but also team-oriented. Everyone is working toward their goals, and that energy can be really motivating. It’s a great place to build experience, especially if you’re starting out in sales or looking to sharpen your skills.

Overall, Shamrock is a good opportunity for someone who is driven, coachable, and looking to build a strong foundation in business and sales.


Ryan Transportation is a great place to start your career. The transportation industry is not something that many people love working in every day, in fact it can be quite the opposite. There are good and bad days with any job and company but they seem to be much more frequent working in transportation. The money is there and it is right in front of you if you want to make it, thats the best part of this company!

The part I am not the biggest fan of is that upper management picks favorites and they do it a lot. You see a lot of people being handed large lucrative accounts that in no way deserve it, which can be incredibly frustrating when you spend years with a company with absolutely nothing being given to you. But even without this taking place you can carve your own path and make great money with the right mindset and determination. 
Overall I would say this company is so-so. They offer great benefits and the office culture can be fun at times.

Shamrock is growing rapidly and with growth, naturally comes growing pains. While the company isn't perfect, there are a lot of things they are doing right. Company paid health care, uncapped residual commissions and leadership who actually cares about the well being of their staff are just a few items that come top of mind. Leaders will hold you accountable but will also listen to your feedback and implement change when they can. Your first couple of years will be a grind and will be tough but if you can stick with it, you will see benefits in compensation and career advancement. Expectations are high and that pressure gets to some, but if you can rise to the challenge you will find success here- just takes some hard work and dedication. 

Working at Shamrock was a mixed experience. On one hand, the job itself could be exhausting, repetitive, and frustrating. The long hours and constant grind often made it feel like more of a burden than a career. There were days when the thought of clocking in felt unbearable, and without the right people, I’m not sure I would have lasted. But that’s where the positive side comes in—the few coworkers I truly connected with made all the difference. They brought humor, support, and understanding into an otherwise draining environment. Simple conversations and shared laughs helped me push through days that felt impossible. While I wouldn’t call the job enjoyable, those relationships saved me from hating every moment. Looking back, it’s clear the work itself wasn’t what mattered most. It was the people who stood beside me that turned a tough job into a survivable one.

Sales is tough and the standards at RTS are higher than ever. However if you truly work hard and take the feedback and coaching that is provided by leadership, you can be successful. While it is more difficult as a non-bilingual rep, it's possible to clear six figures in this role. It takes time and the challenging market provides another hurdle to clear but the opportunity is there. You know exactly where you stand on the leaderboard and are put on performance plans and given extra training should your numbers start to fall south. Overall, if you put your head down and grind for the first couple of years you can set yourself up for some major success. It's tough but so worth it! 

I had a very underwhelming experience working at this company. The pay is not competitive, and there is little motivation to land large accounts when the compensation doesn’t reflect the effort required. Management lacks direction and experience, often being inconsistent in their approach.

The executive team flies in twice a year for meetings that accomplish nothing meaningful — they’re a waste of time. Additionally, the company frowns upon remote work, even when it's more productive, and there’s daily micromanagement that stifles any sense of autonomy. The environment feels fake, with people being more focused on appearances than delivering real results.

Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this company if you’re looking for a role that values growth, fair compensation, or strong leadership
