Pros

One positive aspect of the job at PSP was working with your coworkers. They were supportive, and working with them was enjoyable.

Cons

The job required making 200+ calls per day, and internet access was restricted until a sales target of $15k was reached, which seemed outdated in today's business environment. The management structure, especially at the upper levels, felt rigid, limiting growth opportunities. The role of an inside sales rep involved repetitive tasks with minimal guidance or continuous learning. While there were limited meetings with the manager to discuss growth, feedback on individual performance and improvement strategies were lacking. It often felt like personal growth depended on observing long-time employees rather than receiving constructive guidance from your manager. I observed a concerning trend in employee turnover, especially among new hires in training classes where everyone would quit within the first 5 months. People were let go for what seemed like trivial reasons, and the process lacked transparency. It felt like the company often used subtle reasons to terminate employees, especially when new training classes were introduced. Unfortunately, there was a lack of clear communication regarding performance expectations, making it challenging to understand and strive for growth in the role. I would STRONGLY advise against considering employment at PSP. The guidance provided by management is setting you up for failure, and the overall work environment is toxic. Potential employees may want to explore opportunities elsewhere where guidance and work culture are more supportive.

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.
