Pros

At first the mission was clearly articulated as one of altruism i.e. Helping the healthcare industry save money, helping hospitals in other countries, etc.

Cons

The turnover is crazy - everyone is in it for themselves trying to save their own jobs. Partssource hires untrained, telemarketers and used car sales types who use very territorial and overly aggressive sales approaches The CEO is an egomaniac with photos of himself all over the office and a book he wrote about his life story is required reading. He is supposed to be a christian but his business practices are far from christian.

Pros

Growing company, leadership has a vision and communicates it. Good talent across the board, something PartsSource has always done well. Work-life balance culture has shifted over the years for the better.

Cons

Fast growth has caused some expected growing pains, but the teams do a good job of flagging and adjusting.

Pros

There are a number of genuinely talented, smart people across functions, and I learned a lot from the colleagues around me.

Cons

Prospective applicants and those interested in acquiring the company may want to read the reviews here with a heavy dose of discernment and skepticism. A number of the recent positive reviews appear to have been at the encouragement of management and HR, and the timing seems connected to the company preparing for a sale, so they may not reflect the typical employee experience. Based on my own time here, I would not recommend the role to anyone who prioritizes their wellbeing, meaningful work, and work-life balance. The environment took a real toll on mine. The organization is top-heavy, and leadership's attention often seems directed at the wrong priorities. Leadership also protects the wrong people and has little insight into how stretched most teams are, often with few resources. Many talented people stay mainly because of the promise of a future equity or stock payout rather than the work itself, which points to a retention problem rooted in incentives rather than genuine engagement.
