PDS is a fantastic place to work!

Pros

PDS provides a great work/life balance for me and it seems that decsiions are made quickly, since there are not multiple layers of middle management. The company is adding some community based events for employees this year, which is great! The Managers at PDS are great communicators and regarded highly by the employees here.

Cons

Sometimes there does not seem to be a defined career path, but I see that changing this year, as the employees have been heard! There will be a lot of progress in this area this year with employees having a better understanding of advancement opportunities and training.

Pros

PDS has an excellent opportunity for all employees to grow professionally, and awesome training opportunities. The work/life balance is 2nd to none, and truly rewards/values their employees. Mid-management does a good job of keeping moral high and has become increasingly more communicative. PDS has great IT offerings and a cutting edge cloud product.

Cons

Communication with senior leadership can be wishy-washy at times. While overall company vision and direction has taken form over the past 6 months, it feels as though a true solid mission/purpose statement is needed.

A Good "In-Between" Job but...

Pros

Many of the employees are kind and helpful. In certain areas, the employees genuinely care and want the company to do well. Lots of technical training and an opportunity to network with many clients and other technology companies.

Cons

Any of the legacy PDS employees have been sticking around as it is a steady, but mediocre, paycheck with hopes that things will get back to how they were under initial leadership, but with 3 different CEO's in 5 years, it won't. The company keeps trying to be everything to all customers and they are not; you cannot be the best at everything. High turn-over rate at the service desk and technical level resources through entry-level roles all the way up to the top. It is no secret that people land at PDS while they are still looking for the right job, need a paycheck to get by and make a few new connections. Benefits are horrendous at best and PDS needs to invest in their talent if they want to keep people and prevent them from leaving. A LOT of work needs to be done at this company, but I believe it is too far gone and beyond repair at this point.
