At PB it's Always 1952 - Anonymous employee Pitney Bowes Employee Review

PB is a good-old-boys driven org that has it's roots in cold-war, 1950s USA: STILL. Management techniques are laughable; be prepared to be belittled, ridiculed and told by 'leadership' that they 'made a mistake' in hiring you, at the slightest provocation. Favoritism is standard issue and if you're 'cute' you can get away with murder. What? Not cute? Then be prepared to be laughed at behind closed doors, insulted in front of your peers and left to your own devices for support. There is training at the PB facility in GA but it's a week of wasted time in that the functions/services that have historically kept PB afloat are drying up. Training is a week of crappy accommodations nixing any shred of privacy, exposure to obsolete processes and, because PB hire largely recent grads, lots of hangovers and vomiting; which is, as long as one is 'cute', completely fine with management. Females beware: the top performer in my office was a woman and male coworkers continually reduced her to an anecdote. And there is NO one to complain to should one muster the courage to do so. About the comp plan: you will never fully understand how that works and to make sure you don't, leadership changes it constantly. Incentives or 'kickers' as the mental giants in management call them, will be nearly impossible to obtain. Obfuscation is the order of the day--except if one is 'cute'. Females are expected to dress professionally while the men all look like washer repair men. I lasted 4 months, learned nothing and put up with abuse I wouldn't wish on anyone. Just don't do it.
