Pros

Good pay when you are getting out of college and living with your parents

Cons

First of all, their sales pitch is full of seedy language that leads people to believe you are with the university or team when you have no relationship whatsoever. They also promise all these opportunities for raises and incentives when its simply not true. They take money out of your sales number for tickets, which slows your progress towards commission, which takes 2 years to get to. They also offer great weekly incentives, which are selling over 12k in a week, and getting a $100 gift card. That comes out to less than one percent commission. That's not how sales jobs work. The managers have their favorites and they are compensated better than people they are pushing out the door. Nobody works here longer than a year because they realize how poorly run this company is. Also, managers talk down to their employees and treat them like they are children. That's not how effective companies are ran. They complain about you being a minute late, but the boss misses at least one day a week.

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear you did not enjoy your time at PSP. It's unfortunate you felt the compensation was inadequate. We routinely receive feedback that our compensation is well above industry standards. Our high base pay as opposed to straight commission and/or a low base salary, which are very common, is generally very popular with employees. That said, total compensation is always based on performance/sales and has nothing to do with managers' "favorites." Your claim that no one works here longer than a year is wildly inaccurate. Our track record for retention speaks for itself. We are comprised of mostly long-tenured staff who love the pay, the people and the culture. Again, we are sorry to hear you did not share their experience.

Pros

Working with PSP is unique because you have firsthand access to Major league sports material. It's cool to say I work in sports publishing. I like my coworkers and those in office with me. We have good camaraderie and keep the office culture lively.

Cons

I do not feel valued by this company. This winter we had three heavy snowstorms and when I asked if I the company would be closing for safety, my boss looked at me and laughed saying "the company doesn't care about that." Turns out many of my coworkers have had to drive through blizzards and awful conditions in order to come in multiple times. Recently the company decided to give us "summer Friday's", except in order to receive the benefit of leaving at 2pm on Friday, we had to come in a half hour earlier everyday all summer to "make sure we're not losing manpower". This doesn't make me feel like you value my time or want to make sure I have a healthy work/life balance. I'm expected to bend over backward and still preform at max capacity. I feel like the company would take an chance to screw over it's employees to cut costs and I don't appreciate working under that type of management style.
