Pros

As a co-op it was alot of fun and very laid back. The people were great. There were helpful and you learned alot. It was very hands on. People were willing to teach you and help you along. You get alot of real life projects. Lunch was amazing. The facilities at Pitney Bowes was wonderful, there was a gym and 2 cafeterias and many vending machines. aside from that the electrical engineering dept had cookies on wednesdays and pizza on fridays.

Cons

There were no intern programs, the morale at the time with the engineers was low. Sometimes there wasnt much work to do. I wish there was a mentor program or some sort of program for interns.

Pros

The opprotunity to gain valuable sales experience in the real world in order to source a more financially beneficial job in the future. Pitney has a very thurough training plan for its employees. They seem to be highly motivated to ensure that their reps are as informed as possible on both their product mix and postal knowledge. The quotas are rather easy to attain as long as you spend your time in the field in front of your customer base. Territories are rather spread out but they do pay milage and a monthly vehicle allowance.

Cons

Low base, complicated commission structure.

Pros

Pitney Bowes is the best place to work as it rewards you beyond your wildest expectations. You can pay for big things in your life with just one months salary e.g. wedding, buying a house. It is a place where you can clear your debt very quickly. You need to have drive, ambition, enthusiasm and charisma. If you don't want the money don't work here! It rewards you when you exceed and throw more at you if you over exceed. Other than the money, the career development is amazing, if you want to progress you can, everyone that joined when I joined has progressed, as have I. The training is phenominal and worldly renowned. Any employer is likely to take you after you have worked at Pitney Bowes due to the training. People on here that have given negative opinions of working here probably aren't very good. I don't see the top sales person on here complaining about his £180k salary...

Cons

Jeeeeess.... Technology!!! It's like they think I know I'll try this!! Completely balls it up and then have to re-think, wasting thousands of pounds. It's so irritating. We need a database like Salesforce.com, it would resolve every problem. But they need to trial it properly, if anyone is reading this that sells salesforce.com please dear god sell it to them. The Redhill, Surrey office is shocking, they gave everyone a laptop and hadn't thought about the infrastructure down there, so everyone has to scrabble around looking for power points and network sockets, it's a complete joke!!! It needs a complete refurbish!! Marketing!! When they decide to give us our new accounts previously, they would not print them in post code order, it took each individual sales person 1-2 days to sort their cards out! Bearing in mind on average each team should be doing £10k per day! We wasted at least £100k by this small oversight!!! Although there are negatives, a lot has been changed and is already causing an incredible benefit to us.. SO I hope to see more!!!
