Pros

as mentioned previously one of the best reasons to strat at Pitney Bowes is if you are interested in going into b2b sales. It is pretty well known that the salary levels make former or current PBers great targets for recruiting by other outside sales companies. During my tenure it was not unusual to average at least one solicitation per month (for 5 years) form a recruiter/headhunter that was looing for pharm reps. It is also a great way to learn the workings of corporate structure and the hierarchy of organizations. A great place to brush up on communicatiopn skills.

Cons

Obviously salary is the first and most often complained part of working for Pitney Bowes. In a nutshell the word potential is bandied about quite often without any real substance behind the claim. It is true that you can make a decent living at it, but like many other things you have to learn the product before you can sell it. More often than not it seems that upper managenment encourages local managers and directors to perpetuate the 100k myth to keep the applicants coming. Seems like it's cheaper to keep the turnover high and the salaries low. Thats it.

Very poor training from entry level up. The company has little regard for supporting the managers vs. customers. No work-life balance.

Pros

In recent years, Pitney Bowes has made a concerted effort towards changing the culture to adapt to the changing business world. Productive people who take calculated risks are rewarded both in financial compensation as well as through expanded roles and promotions. The company also offers an employee stock purchase plan that discounts the stock by a minimum of 15%. The benefits are also much better than other Fortune 500 companies where I have worked.

Cons

The IT department is a hit or miss proposition. I have worked with very competent people; however, you are often met with very hefty price tags to make even basic systems changes. The expense report process is also a joke for a Fortune 500 company. Expense reports are done on Excel spreadsheets, printed, signed and mailed to accounts payable. This is a very minor complaint./issue
