Pros

Honestly, I can't think of a single thing to recommend PSE. Your paychecks don't bounce, does that count? If you're an exempt employee, you can show up for a few minutes and then take the rest of the day off, which is nice.

Cons

Low wages. Invisible Human Resources department. Just try and find a phone number or name of a person in HR. Go ahead, I'll wait. Constant re-shuffling of mid- and upper-management. In three years, my supervisor changed four times. Condescending executives. Frequent pep rallies full of hollow promises and political side-stepping. Aggressive, negative attitudes from staff are rewarded with promotions and praise. The most unfriendly atmosphere I've ever experienced.
