Pros

Great individuals to work with. The environment really allows people to be themselves which in turn fosters a more enjoyable "social" scene. Improving pay scales, great PTO package. New challenges keep working for PDS fresh and interesting. Opportunities are there for those who put in the effort, but the paths could be more defined or clear to help those new to the industry/working world. With 10+ years of experience at PDS I saw the amazing culture under Craig and the changes that drove so many of the bad reviews of PDS on this site. Recently there has been improvement to culture and morale wise. Most recently PDS employees pulled together to be the #5 largest polar plunge donor in Wisconsin (as of 2/5/16 and a few weeks to donate). It's not like the old days, but there are positives to that as well that are beginning to shake out of the years of growing pains and poor leadership.

Cons

Still a lot of fog around the companies goals and strategy. As many have said employees have seen false start after false start and the inability for a strategic initiative to last more than a single town hall speech. With that fresh with employees it rough to still see little communication from executive leadership and leads to our inability to see the positive in change and instead only the negative due to the all uncertainty. no matching 401k is a real downer. Overall the bonus plan seems to be a bit unfair to the general employee and has been executed in a way that is rather jading to the people who put in long hours trying to take care of our clients only to be told that since the group didn't meet revenue goals there is no bonus, but hey lets take sales to Mexico to congratulate individual contributions despite missing our sales goals as a group.

You need to find a CEO like Craig

Pros

Pay is good, work from home, lots of vacation. Many of the managers are dedicated to the company. Exciting and always something new.

Cons

They are always under staffed so you have to put in way too many hours. Sales goals are impossible (a 60% increase over the prior year) so you will never see a bonus. Senior management is not interested in the core business, they are just using it to fund a software startup in California.
