Pros

I worked at Philadelphia Mixing Solutions for nearly 10 years. The product, process knowledge, and co-workers were always top notch. Need a company to fix or improve your mixing process? This is the company. Want a gearbox that will last for 40 years? This is the company.

Cons

During my time there there was 3 turnovers at top management. The current management is by far the absolute worst! The top management are bullies that really know nothing about the mixing industry. They attempt to run the company like it's GE. They hire and promote some of the worst people possible. They are either ex-GE or they are morons. Top management acts like children. I can't agree with the review from July of 2020 more. As long as the company is profitable, the owners don't seem to care about the ineptitude of the leadership team. I may be repeating myself but I can't stress the fact that the senior leadership at this company is incompetent, without self-awareness of their skills and knowledge, self-centered, egocentric, narcissistic, morons. With the worst part being the lack of self-awareness of how they act and it's effect on the employees. The recent push to move more engineering and application work to India is a disaster waiting to happen. The company survives on it's robust engineering, process and mixing knowledge, and the tools that have been developed over the years. When you give that away to folks in India, the competitive edge is lost. Soon all the competitors will have the information we once held so secretive and close to heart. It's a real shame.

Pros

They have a very clear vision for the future and they work very hard towards that vision. They have been working very hard the last few years to change the culture and they are now starting to see the fruits of that labor. Overall the company is in a great position to grow and flourish in the industry.

Cons

Everyone's favorite phrase is "PMSL is the industries best kept secret". Well then get out and tell everyone about it!!

Pros

Products are top of the line. Coworkers are supportive and knowledgeable. Customers are loyal.

Cons

There is no recognition unless you are a Yes-Man, a young, fresh and moldable just-out-of-college young man or a young good looking woman. The leaders have a Ptolemaic view of themselves. The tunnel vision stemming from their egos is ruining a company that has survived since the late 1800’s. They have confused bullying with being powerful. The oligarchy has overspent on the budget for unnecessary business expenditure with a focus on immediate self gratification. This irresponsible leadership is not fit for the future and the company legacy. They are unable to keep their disruptive emotions and impulses under control. They will promise you big money to hire you but will eventually disrespect you in front of your peers once hired. You’ll know who the favorites are at your first sales meeting. You are expected to travel all week generating sales while simultaneously filing out reports charting your every minute of every day while simultaneously attending meetings on the phone or on the computer. They will try to hide behind the COVID virus when this all comes crumbling down, but we all know the truth. The death of this company will be brought about by their faulty sales philosophy. Their skewed GE company methodology is a one-trick pony that does not translate anywhere else.
