Pros
This is a great place to work! The company is growing so fast and there's lots of opportunities. We have a brand new office building in the south east as well! There's always going to be negative reviews because most people don't always bother to write good reviews when they're happy but disgruntled people always write bad ones! Yes it is a family owned private company. Yes some of them are friends. But it does not mean you need to be to succeed. Plenty of people have come in here knowing no one and have been successful. Sure it may not be for everyone, as no job is. It's about having the skills, education and experience to do the job but also being part of a team, having integrity and acting in the best interests of the company and the culture. I love the people I work with and as the company grows it keeps getting better! Highly recommend, it's a great company and great industry to be in! Even through covid we've been hiring and expanding!
Cons
Vacation and rrsp contributions really need an update to keep up with industry standards but the positives greatly outweigh any negatives.

- Former Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
The company is at the minimum a good entry-level job to get some experience in the field of DMS/ CRM/ LMS/ or Fixed Operations.
Cons
They do not value their people and it is more a culture of who you know. I was there for quite a while and had nothing but amazing reviews and output. The moment I had a new manager who did not like me I was on review and then out the door faster than I knew what happened. I have made several queries as to why this happened but all have went unanswered despite even some of the upper management agree that it shouldn't have happened. It's 100% about who you know and not how well you perform.

We have shared the details of your review internally to ensure the information is seen by the appropriate departments.

Pros
-there a lot of really great people who work there -you can typically move around between departments to try new things if you desire -you can travel to some interesting places
Cons
-the vacation sucks, minimum requirements by law: you don’t get any vacation days until you complete 1 full year of employment. Then you get 10 days every year following, until you pass 5 years -the salary is on the low end -raises are rare and typically only given with a promotion, and those don’t happen often -you are very much replaceable, they don’t seem to care about long term employee retention -HR doesn’t even face you themselves when you choose to leave, they send an admin person to ask the standard “why are you leaving” questions….. it’s very impersonal. Feels like they don’t care. -they like to hire outside personnel for management roles, not promote internal employees and train them to be managers

Pros
Decent work flow, good communication with management
Cons
For a software company, they have no QA. Bug testing is done with customers as they happen

Thank you for taking the time to post a positive review for PBS on Glassdoor. We appreciate all the feedback that we receive. We are glad that you experienced having “good communication with management”, and we want to ensure that the company continues to maintain that kind of positive feedback. We work with a number of clients and help to troubleshoot issues with the software, ensuring that the product is of the highest possible quality for our customers. QA is handled by a dedicated department, the Product and Solutions Team. This is one of the larger more tenured Departments at PBS and has been integral since the founding of the company. I would hazard to guess the misconception is due to your former role not being part of the Development cycle. If you ever have any concerns or suggestions, please don’t hesitate to let us know, talk to your manager, or contact HR: hr@pbssystems.com. Kira Thin - Communications Administrator

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. I am very glad to see that you have mentioned “nice team” as the people who work at PBS are one of the most valuable assets of the company and help to define who we are. In addition, please keep in mind that PBS is growing and there are plenty of roles in the company, so there may be a different role that will interest you and help to advance your career. Please reach out to your manager and/or HR (HR@PBSSYSTEMS.COM) to discuss any concerns. We want to ensure that everyone feels as though they belong in their role. Thank you!

Pros
You get to travel to some places you would never had gone to. This is a great place to gather some skills before your next career journey. There are a lot of broken links in the company and management is out of tune with their employees.
Cons
Vacation policy Benefits Compensation Vacation policy Benefits Compensation The salary here is below industry standards. You get the best treatment and perks of you are part of the cool kids squad. Only eligible for vacay after one year and only for 2 weeks. Doesn’t feel like you work for a software company. Listening to their employees would help this company achieve greatness. No care for traveling employees or compassion.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to give us your honest feedback on your time with PBS. This review is quite worrisome, as we genuinely feel bad that anyone who has worked for PBS could ever feel this way. At PBS, we thrive on a family-oriented culture, but this doesn’t mean that one employee gets treated better than the others. We always strive to ensure that all employees are treated fairly for the role that they have been hired for. As for employee benefits, we are in the process of re-establishing our employee benefits package with a different provider to ensure that employees receive the best benefits possible. I strongly recommend reaching out to hr@pbssystems.com, however, if you don’t feel comfortable reaching out to HR, please reach out to your previous Manager, a Director, or VP to discuss your experiences while working at PBS. We want to do everything in our power to ensure that all PBS staff are empowered. Every bit of feedback helps us to make our company a better place to work. Kira T - Communications Administrator
