Pros

The relationships you build with the people that are in the trenches with you are extremely strong and valuable. You get a decent amount of days off per year due to observing Canadian holidays and American holidays.

Cons

- There is one leader and what she says goes. - There is no backbone on the management team. - There is no such thing as celebrating wins. " We celebrate wins for the same amount of time an ice sculpture is outside in 100 degree heat". - No such thing as appreciating the work that is done. - Management speaks down to you instead of building confidence. - There are a lot of empty promises made by management which leads to them not being trust worthy, miscommunications, and toxic relationships. - There is no such thing as an annual retention bonus so there is a revolving door or employees leaving month over month. - Leadership micromanages every task you complete each day. - There is no diversity. - Management will throw random meetings on your calendar without reason and not inform you of the reason. - Management will make you feel like you are not good at your job and not doing well enough. "I can take someone off the street and they'll do a better job than you" - No matter what you accomplish it will never be enough. - There is no work life balance. - There is no ability to grow with the company the way it is structured. You can make more money and learn more in a different company so do not waste your time here.

Thanks for taking time to leave this feedback, and thanks for the time you spent with us. Without addressing every point specifically, we'll just say that we don't agree with everything you've written here. Our business development team is a well-oiled machine that generates some pretty amazing results year after year, but we also know that the business specialist role is not an ideal fit for every candidate, and that's okay. It's a great team with strong leaders—including several who have advanced to leadership positions after starting as BDRs—and they know exactly what they need from their people to succeed. They're nothing if not honest and fair. We're sorry this wasn't a good match, but building a career is all about finding the right niche. We wish you the best of luck in the future!

Great company with a few challenges

Pros

- Work from home - Extra holidays (We have both US and Canadian Holidays off) - Generous PTO for people who have been with the company for a while - Most mid level managers, directors, and VPs are great to work with, but there are some major exceptions to this - Pay is generally good for most roles, though some are compensated better than others - I really do feel like our tools lead to positive outcomes in healthcare - I feel like I can take time off without being criticized - I have had great managers to work for

Cons

- Unrealistic sales goals causing the sales team to sign junk deals - Executive team comes off as rather untrustworthy during larger company meetings - There is always a feeling that the leadership goals are not what they display on company meetings, and that there is a secret agenda behind the curtain - There have been instances of skilled resources being let go due to reorganization - Lots of turnover (most companies face this as well, so not exclusive to PerfectServe) A longer note for those interested in working at PS: Your experience will depend a lot on which department you are hired into. Most departments are great and are full of fantastic teammates (I cannot emphasize this enough). There are a select few areas of the company that are incredibly toxic and difficult to work in. Thankfully, those are few and far between, but I want to warn those who want to work at PerfectServe that they do exist. Be extra weary in your interview process. If you find yourself in one of the more positive departments, I promise you will think PS is great.

Pros

Collaborative/Remote/Innovative environment US and Canadian Holidays! Plus 2 Floating Holidays, as a result of DEI initiatives Professional growth encouraged I've been with PerfectServe for a while now, and I've been a firsthand witness to more change than most. But despite the change, the heart of the company has always been compassionate people whose work ethic reflects our mission. I love being surrounded by innovative, caring people who work together to achieve something great, and that very much describes PerfectServe. Additionally, this is a company where you can really grow. I joined in 2017 as a receptionist, became the office manager in 2018, got promoted to SR office manager in 2019, and shifted to a broad people operations role in 2021. I’ve felt valued and invested in and I know of many others who have been promoted and otherwise rewarded for their hard work. Are there problems? Sure. We've gone through quite a bit since 2017. But, more than anything, our leadership team is committed to finding solutions, and they're very transparent with employees about the state of the business. For example, we recently launched a people management tool after data from exit interviews showed us that we needed greater focus on employee engagement. The software aims at improving employee engagement through standardized 1:1s, performance management, engagement surveys, exit interviews and more. There are other examples I could provide, but my point is that our leaders care when something isn't right (or when something could be better), and they do everything they can to make sure we're always improving in tangible ways.

Cons

Work life balance can be challenging at times Remote work orientation makes socializing more difficult
