Pros

Immediate IT manager/director was excellent. I enjoyed his leadership abilities in action. He believed in the walking around style of senior management. Paid well. Flexible hours. The technical challenges were interesting, if not challenging to achieve. I found it interesting to create the solutions.

Cons

Project manager didn't understand how to properly test software before releasing ( selling ) it to client. Client canceled their account worth $30 million annually due to lack of testing. Weekly assignments were assigned by project managers without any input from qualified developers. 1 day assignments would take 3 weeks. 2 week assignments would take 1 hour to complete. It was interesting just to see what figure was put down as to the estimated time to complete. We used to laugh a lot at the assignments. Laughter was common ( that was a real benefit actually ).

Pros

Good (at head office only) training, fair wages, good products.

Cons

Little or no support from management. Poor communications. The company professes to be ethical and look after their employees. I found that after one weeks training at head office and some very spotty training at the branch office, where another trainee and I were left for hours on our own while the manager fielded calls, the manager left me on my own. He never provided any field training even though he promised he would. Even though I eventually (after numerous attempts to contact my manager) contacted branch and senior management as well as the President of Pitney-Bowes Canada, Mr. Chopra (who passed me off to a senior HR manager), all of my concerns were deferred to my manager, who did nothing. After moving on from Pitney-Bowes I found out that another manager had been hired to manage the territory I worked in, as well as several others, which can only mean that management wasn't in tune with the needs of their sales representative's. In closing I feel that I wasn't given any chance to prosper and succeed due to poor management (overloading their middle management), poor planning and very little support or concern for the company's sales representatives.
