Pitney Bowes is a terrible company to work for. Their benefits are crap and you'll be lucky to get more than a one percent raise every year, dispite what position you hold in the company. They suck. Hard.

18+ years of MVS Assembler in Denver, Colorado

64 months ago

C++ and MVS programming are mutually exclusive.

This position has been open for several months.

Would you rather have a C++ developer that has no interest in learning MVS or take a highly motivated MVS developer that is excited to learn C++?

All of the computing languages are the same only the syntax is different.

Assembler is the fastest language on the mainframe.

Go figure.

Although someone from Pitney Bowes might see this, this forum is not directly connected to them. You might try following up with their HR department.
Good Luck!

Pitney Bowes may eventually (do not bank on it)contact you. However, I have experienced extreme dissatisfaction with HR and managers that I have met with this year.

Best of Luck

Actually, I got an interview in Pitney Bowes and the HR contact was very good in letting me know that I did not get the opportunity for the 2nd interview. Must be because you have to have the extact experience or else you would not get it. Most likely the Hiring manager of Pitney Bowes thinks that experience is the best way to sell their products instead of talent. My push back to them is if you have the right talent any software tools are really trivial to support and sell.

Filled out application about two years ago, not a word from this company. I think they just want access to your personal information.

I have aplied to many of the jobs listed. I have had several interviews. I had been told that they were hiring from within for a certain position I had applied for and then come to find out they split it into two part time jobs so as not to pay benefits. I don't know why I keep applying but I need work.

EX-PB employee in Austin, Texas

58 months ago

I'm going to be brutally honest here. You're not going to move up in the sales division unless someone dies - and don't plan on making ANY money here. I was in the top 100 sales reps for the US - and I barely made over $30,000 INCLUDING commission. They pay you a flat $150 for mileage per month, don't cover cell phones and expect you to use yours for work. They will micromanage the living heck out of you as well.

Any bonuses or prizes you receive you get taxed on (This sounds idiotic but they sent me on a trip to a PB conference in Mexico for being one of the top 100 sales reps - and then they charged me $900 for it. No joke.)

Also - their base pay is the same nationwide for sales employees, so whether you live in LA (like I did - one of the most expensive places in the US to live) or in the middle of nebraska - your base pay is about $23,000 a year. GOOD LUCK living on that one!

I would research the company's background regarding their employees. I personally know that this company is well-known, but it has no consideration for its employees. The company will expect a lot from you and be prepared if the unthinkable happens. The company is not a good company for employees that have face health issues, because your days are number within that organization. Want to know more just ask the people who work for the company.

Pitney Blowes is a horrible company to work for and you learn that once you quit the company and work for one of there top competitors. They are a absolutely cheap company and Im not talking about bonuses but I am talking about even training there people on there products (they don't want to) because they don't want to it too expensive to send people (and get this) to there training center a place set up for what else training???. They are also basically falling apart email is killing there mail line and the big copier companys are crushing there copier division they can't keep sales people it is a sinking ship stay away for your own good.

EX DC Pitney Rep in Reston, Virginia

19 months ago

Okay - this EX-PB Rep in Austin is partially right, but mostly wrong. Yes, Pitney Bowes is a terrible company to work for. But, it's not as terrible as he makes it out to be. He must have worked there a long time ago, much longer ago than the 3 years than he wrote the review, because I also worked there in 2007 (when he wrote the review) and I can assure you, at that time, they did give you $30/month towards your cell (and $15/mo towards your home internet). By the time I left PB, they had given all of us cell phones (albeit awful Sprint ones) so we didn't have to use our own anymore. The $150/mo flat mileage is also BS. I got $250, and it just depends on what your territory is or was at the time. If you're mostly local you got less, if you traveled more you got more. But then also by the time I left, they had changed it to a fixed rate (cost of living dependent) plus mileage program that significantly bumped up the reimbursement (I ended up usually getting around $380-$400).

I also have to call foul on his only making $30,000 yet being in Top 100. Yeah right. Impossible, unless of course, he discounted everything he sold down to the max and sold no systems products. In which case, he's a terrible rep and deserved to make no money. I also was a Top 100 rep, actually #8 one year, and made $85K in the entry level position, which actually paid $27,000, not $23,000 (they changed that in 2005), and then they changed it again to $30K in 2009. And, to some degree, cost of living was taken into account because I knew people who got higher than $23K in the SE position before it was raised because they negotiated well. Face it. PB is a great company for entry level sales people. Get the experience and move on to make more money.

Finally, I can't believe he's complaining about getting taxed on the sales trip. That's an IRS issue, not a PB issue. Of course you're going to get taxed on any bonus or prize. This is America. It's required by law.
