you will learn to cold call alot and ask lots of questions

Cons

pay structure is getting worse every year used to be a job you could make greast money if you worked hard. now you will work hard and make ok money.
senior executive is a joke. personalities rule the decision making process.

Advice to Senior Management

leave your personalities out of decision making process. \come out of your office and walk a mile in our shoes. you wont think we are overpaid.

Pros

Excellent product and great President, most people make the environment great. The endeavour to offer their staff growth through projects and amazing intention of engagement.

Cons

Some tenured members are mean and embarass the companies integrity. Heavy on the mid range managment staff, the majority are women with critical senior roles only held by men. No real growth opportunity is expected.

Advice to Senior Management

A correction should be made at the executive level and far more accountibility is required at that level. An improvement in positive communication should be established. Improve pay scale to your existing talent. Hire a female senior executive.

Pros

Stable company with great people

Pay and professional growth not on par with other companies.

Advice to Senior Management

Learn to pay employees what they are worth and people will be loyal

Pros

Best working environment ever!
The senior management gives you interesting missions if you worth it
The marketing team (what I know) is really competent.

Cons

The salesmen are too important, over protected and some are way too much paid, compared to other areas...

Advice to Senior Management

Don t let the marketing get down...
Don t let valuable interns (graduates) leave the company...
Need to improve the HR hiring policies

Pros

Neopost allowed me to intern in several departments during my two summers of working there. I got to experience every aspect of the business focusing mostly on legal, marketing and human resources. Neopost kept there employees very knowledgable about what was going on in the compay. Every quarter they had quartely communication meetings where the upper management would report back to the whole company about the status of their department.

Cons

I really enjoyed my internship experience at Neopost. Everyone was really willinging to help me learn. They only con about the internship was that I was the only intern. It would have been nice to have some one else to share my experience with and bounce ideas off of.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep on communicating with the employees everyone feels more invested in the company when they know whats going on. Hire more interns!

Pros

- Good Training,
- If you have the right manager then Good Support,
- If you have a central london patch then you can earn a lot of money,
- Product and Service is much better then Arch Rival

Cons

- Disturbingly high staff turnover in my one year there most of the 24 salespeople in my office left,
- Product and Services are chronically over priced,
- Only sell franking machines whilst arch rival is selling everything else too from stationary to copiers,
- Targets are unrealistic, in the monthly management meetings i only ever saw a handfull of people hit target (intrestingly they have a central london patch)

Advice to Senior Management

- Stop loosing your best sales executives to rivals by increasing the basic,
- Sell more than just franking machines, as the industry will continue to decline,
- Change target system,

Pros

International Company makes downturns in individual markets less likely to impact the overall company. Has considerable financial strength and a good reputation in the market, especially in Europe.

Cons

Serious lack of communication between business units. This often results in unit managers making decisions that benefit one unit but are detrimental to the rest of the company. Is old school with some senior employees unwilling to consider fresh approaches to the market.

Advice to Senior Management

Consider taking the best of Neopost (and now absorbed Hasler) and making a corporate culture that takes the lead away from Pitney Bowes rather than being satisfied with the crumbs from Pitney's table.

Pros

-Good money if you are selling
-Good benefits

Cons

-Terrible leadership
-No training, or extremely inadequate training
-Poor management
-Unstable market (currently)

Advice to Senior Management

Sales people are not motivated by intimidation techniques, they need positive feedback and encouragement. If a company treats you right you will want to work for them and the turnover rate will drastically reduce.

Pros

Neopost has a really fun culture and treats all employees with resepect. The Senior Management has a good vision for the company and explains that vision to all workers. I think they really care about the people they have working for them. Even though salaries are not the best, Neopost knows the importance of family life and promotes all employees to have a good work life balance.

Cons

They need to put more focus on training new employees.

Advice to Senior Management

Need to spend more time matching the right people to jobs

Pros

The salary given is pretty competitive within the market however it is very difficult to get raises or move to another level. The job description are vague and often unattainable. There isn't any "individual" consideration made when looking at performance. It is all based on a "territory" and there isn't any consideration for the different variables that are presented every day

Advice to Senior Management

Take more time to evaluate your employees, not your employee #'s. These people are not some kind of calculation that was decided upon. Each person has skills and attributes that they bring to the team. Pay attention to those details
