Pros

Get perks but only if management likes you, being a great sales rep doesn’t mean you always get to enjoy the perks

Cons

Extremely competitive between reps and the managers who sell so there is no help given when asked. When you are asked for help and give it, it’s taken for granted and they ask someone else just to undermine you. Not a healthy work environment. They say it’s 8-5 but coming in early and staying late is encouraged but you aren’t rewarded like promised. Only if you make sales, making calls doesn’t do anything for them. They allow reps to work for them who tell secretaries and the decision makers to “suck their d****” and they let them go on the company trips and get sales packages so it’s overlooked. It’s a messed job with a messed up company. No mobility in career either. You’re stuck at one position for the whole time and the only thing that can grow is the commission and that is heavily taxed.

We're sorry that you haven't had a good experience. However, we think it is important to make clear how everything works. " Perks" like sales trips, monthly incentives, sale contests are all great ways for reps to make extra money, go on a great trip at no cost...but they only go to sales reps who have made the requisite sales. It has nothing to do with the way the company or management feels about you. It's simply whether or not one makes enough sales to qualify based on objective sales information - the amount of sales made. In addition, we maintain a professional working environment. No one is allowed to curse or say vulgar things - that is completely out of bounds - and if management is aware, corrective action will be taken. Our sales training is second to none and that training continues throughout a sales rep's tenure. We are trying to make every sales rep successful but, as we say during our interview process, this job isn't for everyone. If you really are a current employee as you claim, we would encourage you to have a conversation with management and let's see how we can help you become more successful at making sales so that you can take part in the things you claim to be missing and improve your compensation.

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.
