Former Employee – worked at Pitney Bowes full-time for more than a year

Pros – High level of responsibility and accountability extended. Technical training was solid via manufacturer.

Cons – Lack of proper managerial support and understanding for a remote office which covered a geographical area the size of France. Service techs were scattered by customer demand and not current; scrambling to catch up with technology. No balance of information for prospective and current customers between the new devices and the old equipment.

Advice to Senior Management – Bring in new blood to marketing and management that are NOT previously from the competition that went belly up and weren't leaders in the first place. Listen to your remote area field sales teams and don't give the customer over to telemarketing ;-(

Pros – Company is starting to communicate much more. I like the transparency. Nice people to work with, generally helpful to get you going. Very solid products and solutions.

Current Employee – been working at Pitney Bowes full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – They pay relatively high salaries. Most jobs have very flexible self-regulated schedules. A lot of jobs (growing all the time) are work from home.

Cons – The products and services are market leaders in a dying industry. The only way the ever even come close to analysts numbers is by continuously laying off personnel. The work place is toxic, there used to be (for the past 8 years or so) an annual lay-off right between Thanksgiving and Christmas (nice timing huh, very thoughtful), but now the lay-offs are what seems to be every week from a different group or department so no one ever knows when they go into work on a given day if it will it be their last. The amount of work for each individual is enormous because the survivors have to pick up the load. They constantly bring in people from the outside as management, they don't promote from within very often, and the new management seem to be getting worse and worse. They finally got rid of Murray Martin who basically drove the company into the ground with no repercussions whatsoever.

Advice to Senior Management – C-Level personnel should look to clean house of VP and above who have been at PB for more than say 20 years instead of laying off all the workers that have all the domain knowledge. Get rid of the layers and layers of management. As a manager I have 11 people under me. Yet there are many groups in WHQ who have a manager (with no direct reports) reporting to a Director, who reports to a Senior Director who reports to a VP and that is the VP's entire organization, himself and three or four other higher management positions. But you keep laying off the workers. Really? And stop outsourcing all our jobs because you are losing the local domain knowledge and letting things like control of your data, of all things, be controlled by someone else.
