Pacific Office Automation Employee Reviews

Great now the old CEO is gone. Doug Pitassi no longer is affiliated with POA

At the end of the day, poa is about being profitable, being successful and winning. When you do that you're not gonna make everyone happy especially when you hold people accountable I've always been treated fairly.

work hard play hard.. a company that cares for its employees!

Very unique company. Most markets aren't micromanaged but that results in a lack of consistent processes. Training for every position is shadowing but everyone is spread so thin that it tends to make training non existent. It's a good fit if you like to own problems. Bad fit if you need structure.

Company doesn't care that we make barely enough to survive

They care about continuing to improve the company and are open to trying new things.

Leadership seems to be neutral but are complacent and many prioritize the business over the workers. Can be very unprofessional.

They are honest and respectful

communication is a key point that they take seriously

They care a lot lot

Allowing a work life balance. Communication between management and employee is meant to demean, very cult like.

Addressing office culture and appropriate work behavior.

Self-insured company keeps premiums low.

401k and health insurance are good. Technicians can get a company car. There's an employee referral program. Health insurance costs are reasonable.

75k a year is sweet

higher pay is always good

If I were paid a fair market price for the area we operate in. No raises in 2 years, despite continued growth and record profit

Those who make more per commission are better treated. Also, the majority of sales people are men. Sexism is an issue.

My team in Beaverton is awesome, like a family. Upstairs the MIT team is weird.

People are engaging, welcoming, and collaborative

A few coworkers are great, but thats dur to common distaste towards the company.

All push each kthwr to succeed

we all are like family

If respecting others in the workplace was demanded and encouraged the work environment would improve.

When I was struggling with personal stuff my managers really understood and helped me all kinds of ways.

Everyone is hungry and excited

empowerment and team work are key culture words that we live by

The team really works as a team. Everyone helps each other out. Granted everyone is busy so it takes time. The ability to own a problem and make my own judgement calls is the most positive cultural attribute. There isn't red tape getting in the way of anything.

We work hard to help each other

Leaders have an "above the law" mentality. They can do anything to an employee without repercussions.

A required course in ethics and respecting the fellow worker.

Talking with the VP. Joe Baurer

Initial interviewer took the time to learn my skills and goals and offer jobs that matched those.

I liked that hiring is not always for a specific position. Initial screening interviewers take the time to learn your skills and goals then offer the open positions that best match you.

The people made it fun

Looking for someone who was hungry

I like solving problems and making customer experiences better, so I generally enjoy the work I do and the effects it has on the company and customers. I like working with so many in and close to my generation.

The ability to make money

other team members that I work with

When I walk into an account and the customer has a positive perception of the company, I'm happy. The second option is that as long as I'm getting my work done, nobody micro manages or checks up on me. I'm a hard worker and being allowed to just work without interference is why I'm still at POA.

Good deals and a good meeting

Communication is lacking. And adequate behavior in the workplace is non-existent.
