Pros
nothing I can think of - might be a good stepping stone for new grads who have no work experience
Cons
I worked at one of the PSS sites and upper management was just awful. Whenever there was a disagreement or simple misunderstanding with the 'client' manager you would get scolded like a little stupid kid. They will put you on a performance improvement plan and will fire you at will. It was an unbelievably demoralizing and humiliating experience. I regret not having left sooner. So much happier now in my current job, especially when I think back of what I went through at this place. No wonder turnover is very high and employee morale is low. Almost all of the PSS employees seemed pretty unhappy and stressed-out although everybody tried to put on a happy face. Pay is painfully low and cost of living is not factored in. This is a really bad choice for any scientist seeking a fulfilling career. My advice: walk away from this terrible company - better yet: run as fast as you can!
