What do members think of working at Via?

Mike S.

Account Manager

“Via Trading is a company like no other. A small family owned business with an enterprise mentality that just keeps growing. It’s an oxymoron but it’s an extremely fast paced yet relaxed environment where you get back what you put in! No two days are alike making it a never ending learning experience. You’re constantly meeting new people both domestically & internationally from up and comers to established business owners who help you grown along the way. After years with this ever growing company I can proudly say that I’m still learning everyday. Working at Via Trading has become more of a life style as opposed to a job/career. You literally live and breathe it day in day out… a few dreams and nightmares along the way have kept things interesting as well.”

Jose R.

Logistics

“I enjoy working at Via because every day is a new opportunity to learn new things and developing myself in many ways. The company has not only developed my communication skills, but I have lost a fear I had about interacting with people like customers, vendors and trucking companies. Like “Drake” says, “We started from the bottom, now we’re here.” The company gave me a chance to move up from working in the warehouse to a position in the Logistics Department and has taken care of me as I never expected them to. Overall it gives you a chance to prove to yourself that you can do much more than what you thought you were capable of, with the help and support from the founders and leaders of the company.”

Luis N.

Account Manager

“Via Trading has provided a platform for my professional development for the past decade. In fact, you can easily argue that the skillsets that I have learned can rival the most prestigious MBA programs offered by top Universities with the vast difference that I’ve actually put the knowledge to use. It’s been an experience to be part of company growth: from a small startup supplying mostly local buyers to now sourcing partners in over 130 countries out of a 240,000 sq ft warehouse; from working with only a handful of programs to now having a proprietary software to keep track of all available inventory real time; from learning from others in the industry to now setting the pace and being recognized as the leader in the secondary market worldwide. It has been an invaluable experience.”

Justin P.

Account Manager

“The number one thing that interested me in Via Trading was the atmosphere. It's fast paced yet people smile and are helpful. People are upbeat and genuine. Unlike other companies who talked the talk, Via walked the walk. My choice to work here was based on 2 things: the people and the work. Corporations, whether they mean to or not, develop a corporate persona that may or may not fit your personality. This encompasses many things from ethics to goals to the type of people that will be your coworkers. Via just feels right. Team members feel appreciated and are recognized for their dedication and hard work. The compensation, solid benefits, and opportunities for professional development provide a genuine satisfaction. Via is a strong, solid, stable company.”

Adan S.

Account Manager

“What I like about working at Via is that they take the time to train us to make sure that we have all the right tools to do our job right. It’s a family oriented business and they’re very understanding about the fact that many of us have families that we need to spend time with as well. I also love that we have the opportunity to help others by providing them the opportunity to start their own businesses, and that makes me feel good because we allow people to better their situations. I love my coworkers – they’re all fun and easy to work with and that makes a big difference when you wake up every morning knowing you’re going to enjoy your day.”

Benjamin W.

Account Manager

“Via management and co-workers encourage success, thoroughly training and willingly sharing knowledge. Via’s intimate team culture includes company picnics, Christmas parties, a soccer league, trade-shows, sales team dinners, etc. Via staff is diverse and well-traveled, speaking Spanish, English, Portuguese, French, Turkish, and Arabic. Having developed business in 40+ countries, I am continually learning about cultures, communication styles, and international markets. My always-growing customer base consistently relies on my advice and our supply. As Via acquires better supply and develops more efficient communication tools, my commission-influenced paycheck increases significantly. Success at Via comes through hard work, a confident attitude, use of technology, and learning from co-workers and managers. As an account manager, you are given autonomy, so your success is a result of your efforts and ability to adapt.”
