Jacksonville, FL

Former Employee – worked at PSS World Medical full-time for more than 7 years

ProsUnique culture, some great people.

ConsLack of clear career pathing/opportunities, salary below industry average.

Advice to Senior ManagementDiversify - most of the executive management team have only worked at PSS their entire careers, which leads to a culture of "yes-men" and lack of fresh ideas.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Jacksonville, FL

Current Employee – been working at PSS World Medical as a contractor for more than 3 years

ProsIncredible culture. Great people. You can work remote on occasion. There are a lot of things going on, so you can do just about anything.

ConsThere is some really bad code in there. The original eCommerce app that is still in use is a compendium of anti-patterns. It takes some work to get used to it. The good news is that piece by piece we are refactoring it into a much less painful beast and pulling services out and building new ones.

Louisville, KY

Former Employee – worked at PSS World Medical full-time for more than 7 years

ProsGreat environment to work in. The company goes above and beyond to make you feel like one of there own. Many great Perks.

ConsSome Favoritism is shown from the Management, which can be a bummer if your not the most like guy in the place. and since you dont leave until the work is done means alot of long hours.

Advice to Senior Managementalot of things go on in warehouse that a "Blind Eye" gets turned away from. you need to dig into things a bit and clean house.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Redmond, WA

Current Employee – been working at PSS World Medical

Prosgreat leadership and support - friendly co-workers and excellent teamwork - flexible scheduling and coverage for vacation / time off - good benefits that improve year to year - easy access to helpful resources

ConsIt is a very large corporation so it is not as tightly knit as a small privately owned medical supply company. It takes a bit more effort to get change that is needed when you are part of a smaller branch of the company.

Advice to Senior ManagementStronger levels and methods of communication between branches would be beneficial for employees. This would help in ensuring everyone is on the same page even though there are long distances between us.
