Pros

I have worked for PS for over 12 years. I enjoy coming into work with kind coworkers, fair bosses, and overall a home away from home. I recommend to all potential hires to come in to hone your sales experience, growth, and become comfortable. A typical day at work is a slight grind, but manageable. I love the management here. I trust them to be fair, and have knowledge to depend on. The culture here is a bit serious, with a splash of fun during the tough days of overtime. Hardest part of the job is the clientele to deal with day in and day out. I enjoy the schedule I have earned over time, & family aspect around the office with laughs being the wonderful bonus.

Cons

Lack of pay raise, clientele you deal with daily, change of policies
