Pros

The culture was amazing when we were PeopleAdmin. The former CEO was very personable and transparent and it flowed down from him onto the upper level and middle managers. We had a great time at work and because of that, we worked hard and were passionate about the results.

Cons

When Powerschool took over, there was a very tangible, negative change to the company in so many ways, outlining them would be impossible. The communication between individual contributors and leadership is basically so tightly wrapped in red tape, it cannot exist. Powerschool chokes out their own ability to be productive and successful in unnecessary processes and a severe lack of communication from the top down. I truly feel regret for everyone I helped to get a job there and I hope they get out as soon as they can.

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.
