Great material, mostly good folks, but shocking disloyalty - Anonymous employee Psychology Today Employee Review

Pros

If you work on the editorial side, the material is very intelligent - you get to learn while you earn. The people are mostly nice and good coworkers; one or two higher ups had some temperament issues. When I was there, though, the Editor in Chief was a wonderful person and great to work for.

Cons

People seem to get fired impulsively and for no reason. During my time there, everyone in my dept. was eventually let go, including me. The reasons seemed to be petty - people were fired even when their work was praised. One very good, hard-working long-term employee was let go while a parent he was caretaking was dying, and this was known to management. Also, people seemed to be let go so someone higher up's friend could have the job. They even let people go for merely frivolous reasons at the beginning of "the recession" (aka Great Depression 2) without a thought.

Pros

1/ As you'd guess, the company is dedicated to mental health and well-being! As an ex-employee, I appreciated being part of an organization that contributes positively to the field of psychology and helps individuals access mental health resources. 2/ The company fosters a flexible work environment, allowing employees to maintain a good work-life balance. This flexibility might include (depending on your role) options for remote work or flexible hours. 3/ PT does really value the growth of its employees. There are ample opportunities for professional development, including workshops, training sessions, and support for pursuing further education or certifications in the field.

Cons

1/ One of the "cons" was the occasional challenges in communication between different teams or departments. 2/ Depending on the department or role, there might be periods of high workload variability. This resulted in some employees --myself included-- feeling overwhelmed during peak times while experiencing slower periods during off-peak seasons.
