Pros

Great products and a well-established, well-respected company. Pitsco has been around for over 50 years helping really build the STEM education market. The direct sales management is stellar and some of the best people I've ever worked for. Other salespeople are very quick to help and provide guidance whenever it's needed. A wide array of products and solutions allows you to customize a package for schools that fits their needs.

Cons

While there are a lot of great things about Pitsco most of them are held back by a very top-down leadership approach where important decisions are made with little to no input from frontline salespeople. I was let go from Pitsco, not even a week after being put on a PiP and being told I would have a full quarter to satisfy the requirements of the PiP. This was after my first year with the company managing a territory that had been historically under-performing yet still showing 35% growth.
