Pros

Job stability Great work environment Positive culture Good benefits package Flexibility

Cons

Severely lacking in growth opportunities for employees Lots of miscommunication between departments / up & down the food chain that leads to employee confusion / frustration High attrition rate - employees leaving left and right (a lot of times it's the more experienced people who feel under-appreciated / under-valued) Poor on-boarding / internal training processes - employees are not given the resources they need post-hire to succeed and grow Management doesn't listen to employee requests / recommendations / ideas Taking initiative, trying to prove yourself, and going the extra mile probably won't get you noticed / promoted - it'll likely just mean more and more gets added to your plate "Unlimited" time off (DTO) isn't really unlimited - your manager will reference how much time you've already taken off in the calendar year (regardless of your work performance) and reprimand you / deny requests depending on their need for employees to be at work (often times in the most common times of year to take vacation - ex. Spring, Summer, holidays...) Compensation rates / job titles have too much variation among employees with essentially the same roles & responsibilities Career path / growth chart makes no sense and you aren't really given the tools / advice needed to take the next steps towards getting promoted

Pros

There are literally no pros that I can provide

Cons

Was here less than 3 months and laid off due to reorganization, redundancy and lower than expected revenue in the first half of the year, even though I hit my Q2 quota. Literally laid off on the last day of Q2 when I brought in a large (over $75K) new sale that I won’t even see the commission on. Worst company and employee experience ever. Changed my account base and account quota twice during the quarter. They overcharge their customers with their yearly “uplift” without any added benefit or value to their services. They are a complete mess and it’s no wonder why their customers are leaving and cancelling their renewals. They have lost all trust in PS. They should be called POS. Their customer/tech support is awful and will take weeks if not months to resolve a customer issue. SLT just says “work harder, build a fake pipeline so that Severin or Bain will think we are doing great!” Ugh. Gross. 20/10 do not recommend.
