Pros

The fellow coworkers are nice.

Cons

The company is trying to run as a tech company without the leadership or employees to successfully pull it off. Existing employees are severely undervalued. The new hire you are training likely got an offer for 20k more than you make. Management only works one direction in telling you what to do. Anytime you need them to advocate for you, they say to go fight for it yourself and report back knowing it is futile without their backing. Upper management is of the mindset that it is ok to undervalue existing employees because if they want more they should leave. They have put the cart before the horse and will likely lose many employees. How can it be a “tech” company without a dev ops team? There is so much middle management bloat with them only worried about trying to advance their careers. If you are a tech worker and used to big tech, don’t make the mistake I did in coming here. This is not a tech company and you will feel the ineptitude at all levels.

Pros

Easy to get hired, People are very helpful and the managers really were chill. My department was Card Reading/ QC. Making sure the cards we received were the right cards that were submitted in the order. If your into Sports Cards/ TCGs this is probably a dream job for you, They gave us free lunch once in awhile, brought in some food trucks. The people who worked there, The employees who were actually hired through PSA all seemed to enjoy their jobs, I didn't get to ask how much they were getting paid. Most of them really knew about Cards, TCG's Sportscards, They really were knowledgeable .

Cons

For me it was very monotonous and mundane. I worked 2nd shift, Either way, The pay was not worth it. You had to go thru trays of cards and match them. There's a camera above your work station as if your working in an casino monitoring your every move, You can't take out your phone or get disracted. As temps we weren't even allowed to wear headphones, That was reserved for (Employees). The whole job felt like working in an assembly line. Management was also very hush on growing in the company, Originally the temp agency said we would get hired within 6 months, but after talking to some of the workers who already worked there awhile, They said we would stay Temps for up to a year. I left shortly after learning that. Also the training period was pretty long, 3-4weeks. And if you don't hit your metrics in training, when training ends and its your first day on the job, Your badge will be deactivated and you won't even be let in the office. No call, no word from managment. Just showing up to work one day and being shown that you weren't selected to continue working.
