Pros

They told me to leave a “good”review the day I left, so here you go. No pros.

Cons

Cult! Micro-managing, no freedom, constant uncomfortable feeling, you’re being watched and listened to. They have a weird system in place and live by it like it’s the Bible. You are there to call 250 people a day because the law of averages says 2 out of the 250 will buy a Crappy ad with no return on investment. I callus not believe how they ran things there. It’s a really crappy feeling, you are being paid to scam people.

This review contains a number of objectively false or incorrect information. First, we did not ask this person to leave a review. We have had from time to time employees tell us they think some posted reviews are unfair and inaccurate. In those cases, we mention that they might want to share a review explaining their own experience. However, there is no pressure or demand to do so. Second, we have agreements with hundreds of professional sports teams and college athletic departments that can be confirmed objectively without much inquiry. The ads we sell are legit. There is no "scam" and the fact that we have been in business for more than 30 years should make that clear. There is absolutely no data to support that 2 companies out of every 250 purchase ads - this claim was also completely fabricated. Third, we are straightforward with potential and current employees that this is a difficult job and that they will be on the phone all day. That said, we have hundreds of long term employees who have made this a very successful career. The job is undeniably difficult and it takes effort to become successful at it. It is not for everyone. However, if you are successful you will find the life-work balance is great as well as the compensation. We have great commission, monthly incentives and trip incentives (for example, a large group just came back from a company-paid incentive trip to New Orleans).

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.
