Cons
Pitney Bowes is an extremely siloed company. Each division set's their own KPI's which are often totally exclusive of one another. Often one division must fail so another can succeed. The company is very top heavy with many VP's without direct reports. The company's original bread and butter was postage metering equipment and up until recently Pitney Bowes held 95+% of the market share. With the advent of email, internet virtual metering capabilities, competitor growth, and customer restructuring due to the poor economy, market share has declined. A company once known for it's field service organization, has on it's own accord, restructured to a point where a discernible service presence exists.
