Pros

In recent years, Pitney Bowes has made a concerted effort towards changing the culture to adapt to the changing business world. Productive people who take calculated risks are rewarded both in financial compensation as well as through expanded roles and promotions. The company also offers an employee stock purchase plan that discounts the stock by a minimum of 15%. The benefits are also much better than other Fortune 500 companies where I have worked.

Cons

The IT department is a hit or miss proposition. I have worked with very competent people; however, you are often met with very hefty price tags to make even basic systems changes. The expense report process is also a joke for a Fortune 500 company. Expense reports are done on Excel spreadsheets, printed, signed and mailed to accounts payable. This is a very minor complaint./issue

Pros

Pitney Bowes is a decent starting point for getting sales experience. Good reputation that lets you successfully move on after a few years. Decent insurance coverage. Can you succeed and have a 20+ year career at Pitney Bowes... Yes! Does it take a lot of "off the clock" efforts if you wish to succeed... Yes! Are you going to eat Top Ramen your first year because you're making less per hour than the kid at McDonalds..... It's a possibility!!! Oh, we did get base pay raises in 2009. Still well below sales industry standard.

Cons

Pitney Bowes is the creator and leader in an industry that is dying! Especially in these economic times, a "stamp machine" is a luxury that many small businesses are axing. The solution? Load up on new third party products while continuing to have new employees focus on mail machines. Bravo for looking in new directions..... Training is falling short however. 2009 also brought many new micro-management techniques. This means less time selling and more time filling out paperwork explaining why you aren't selling as much.
