Pros

Great customers, smart co-workers doing the daily front line operations tasks. Occasional free lunch. Good 401k matching plan. Nice annual bonus structure. Good if you live in India because the Indian Executive Officers love shipping jobs back home.

Cons

CEO, HR, and Upper Management are liars and snakes telling us that the KC office is vital to the company only to layoff over half the staff. Oh and yes there is a PowerSchool way even if you in Upper Management don't want to believe it but sadly the PowerSchool way is often inefficient and worse for everyone involved. The office in KC still says PeopleAdmin because the company is too cheap to have the sign removed or they don't care about the KC office and the people here. Perhaps a little of both.

PowerSchool Group Response

We appreciate this feedback! On an ongoing basis we review the needs of our business, including evaluating the distribution of our employees. To better serve our customers and support our growth, we are scaling down two of our smaller offices, where employees will have the option to work from home or at one of our other sites. For those where this is not possible, we have provided long term notice of the transition period. We respect our employees and provided this communication as early as possible to allow all impacted employees and their families to plan accordingly. PowerSchool continues to grow, and we are currently hiring across many locations.

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.
