Trial by Fire with odds stacked against you - Assistant Project Manager PDSI Employee Review

Management at PDSI truly cares about the input of the employees. The core values are upheld and demonstrated from the top down (Straight Talk, Commitment, Empowerment, Courage, Innovation). I feel proud to say I work for a company like PDSI.

The only issue I see is lack of team building outside of the two times a year we get together. Maybe set up more opportunities for the remote workers to develop internal relationships.

Healthy salary, with satisfactory benefits.

No actual training process. Employee/company manual is a joke- horribly out of date in parts, constantly being rewritten, under draft, disorganized, incomplete, relatively useless. Questions are encouraged, but then criticized and frowned upon when asked. Help is offered by coworkers, but then counted as tallies against you. Based in Atlanta, where their office culture thrives on petty gossip and backstabbing, which bleeds into the rest of the company. Company leadership organization is very ephemeral and it is difficult to orient oneself with respect to who does what. Projects involve teams that are comprised of members from different offices across the country, overly-complicating processes and making communication a mess for all but the most adept (of which there are few). Contractual job descriptions for your salary are thrown away from week one, and you are required to perform, not just tasks and responsibilities of other job descriptions, but in fact entirely different contractual roles in addition to your own; two for one deal on their part.
