The Worst Job I Ever Held - Inside Sales Representative Professional Sports Publications Employee Review

Pros

Commiserating with other co-workers. Making fun of the corpulent managers. Close to the A/C train?

Cons

Looking for a place filled with orange hued guidos who love lying to people over the phone (they often even use fake names when calling companies)? This is your spot! None, and I mean none, of the senior sales people at this place would make it at a real publisher like Conde, Hearst, Time Inc, etc. Why? Because PSP is more like Boiler Room than Mad Men. I used to get sick to my stomach on Sunday nights thinking about having to go back in there the next morning to be belittled by guys whose only real talent is delivering falsehoods over the phone. This is not a place for anybody who has any integrity at all.

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.
