Cons
PLS Financial received this prestigious award for 2008, 2009 and 2010, HELLO.... THIS IS 2014 what were you doing right four years ago? There is absolutely no respect for the field leadership team regardless of how many hours we put it. The Senior Leadership team does not genuinely have our best interests at heart and it is difficult to trust them. They are not grateful for our performance efforts (especially if EBITDA is not positive) and they always are attempting to squeeze every bit of effort they can out of you, this will cause you to not trust that they have intentions to be more efficient, resourceful and collaborative (poor technology comes to mind). Leadership does not effectively "touch the business" they visit because they have too and when they do, they come with sharp tongues, they don't speak to the DM prior to the store visit, they rely on the ineffective DO's to give them the full picture in a two day span. Talk to your leadership teams who really role up their sleeves and try in earnest to make money for the Company. PLS is not a box of chocolates.
