Pros

I guess this is an okay company for kids right out of college who will work 24/7 for low pay. I can't think of any pros that make them stand out. I take that back, the HSA matching is 150% of your contributions.

Cons

No work/life balance, they expect blood. Low pay. Extremely low glass ceiling. Rifs/layoffs/firings with no warning (unless you count townhalls where they promise you no more layoffs as the warning). Very little training. Terrible communication, conflicting information or NO information, pointless red tape. Management takes away tools and replaces with inferior tools, makes everything we do harder, take longer, and more mistakes (as stuff falls through the cracks).

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.
