Pros

Working from home, but that is becoming the standard for these types of jobs. Not sure how much of a “pro” this can be considered.

Cons

The service leadership is abhorrent. It’s ruled with an iron fist of clueless nepotism where they value “yes people” over people actually carrying the workload and trying to exhibit real change into the work place. If you enjoy your boss not having a clue as to what you do day to day, while making 20k more than you, and have them ask you to make reports for them, you will love it here. The upper service leadership is where things get truly tragic. To put it lightly, all they care about is “bootlickers” and squeezing out every amount of effort until you are so burnt you leave. Promotions are all done behind closed doors and lead to inconsistencies in who get promoted. Those who are the “best” at the job seldom get promoted, but when asking “why” they have no good responses. It’s a game of favorites and “yes” people rather than a culture of elevating and developing the best people. There has been a massive “brain drain” of the best and brightest from Datasite service in the past 5 years, so if you are looking to join - best of luck - because there is no one to train you. Zero ability to move out of service. HR has service reps pigeonholed as not as bright as external candidates. Your best bet is “maybe” becoming a supervisor or trainer, but even then they would prefer to hire externally.

Pros

-Coworkers are great. -Training is good. -Customers are usually ok to work with.

Cons

Summary: As a PSS, you'll be expected to support several different products, many of which you will not touch often. It's difficult to be an expert covering so many products and features. They change and update features often, which is both good and bad for customers, but also makes it much more difficult for PSS. You handle really sensitive information (M&A), but are expected to assist multiple customers at once - this is a huge risk. Additional cons: -They implemented a AI agent and then fired several great employees, then increased the rest of the staffs expected workload. -They change ways of working often. -The knowledge base is often out of date. -There's almost always a backlog, but the clients work can be "urgent" - making some clients upset on wait time.
