Planned Systems International

Personally I feel that this was by far the best job I ever had before. As far as my co-workers go I felt they were very friendly, hard-working, smart individuals. I never felt like I had to pull anybody else weight, management was pretty straightforward and reasonable with delegating tasks and the tools required to complete them, the location was great in terms of places to eat for lunch. Overall the corporate culture was quite exhilarating. In terms of my actual job of Data Technician I felt it was quite interesting being exposed to Oracle 11g and SQL update scripting as it was much simpler than I first thought yet very powerful. The project itself gave me some insight on some of the administrative tasks a medical clinic/hospital may partake and the possibility of how many administrative tasks could probably be more efficient for both the client and employee in many industries. The thing I enjoyed most about working there was the corporate culture if you will. What I mean is the company would hold events and encourage all employees to participate and most actually did. Some events where charity based and some was company based. In some ways it was starting to feel almost like a second family of sorts. It was then and there I learned that a job was more than just a place to earn a check and that its culture mattered to me more than previously thought.

They advertise that they have great benefits which you can take with you when you leave.  I advise you not take the job if benefits are important to you because when you leave, the fees for insurance are astronomical.  One example is their life insurance benefit.  Should you take it with you, you would pay about $2,000 - $3,000 a month for coverage.  You can buy insurance without any job affiliation for about $200 a month.  So the benefit offered was a scam and a flat out lie.

If there is ever a problem with your pay, you will have to wait on them to fix the problem at their leisure.  The did not seem to make getting employees paid on time a priority.  I found that very disrespectful.

Planned Systems International is your average government project contractor / subcontractor.  They often administer the labor component for a prime contractor.  They are pretty good at what they do.  The benefits, while not great, are OK.  Their main workforce is centered in the Washington DC area and the benefits reflect that. However, they have people working on gov't. contracts all over the world.  It is sometimes tough getting your health insurance accepted in some of the far reaching sites.  Pay rates will differ from project to project - even for the same work - based on what was bid.  That's the way government contracting works.

Planned Systems International operates an IT Service support organization. They overload office spaces beyond reason-single offices house 3-4. A conference room was re-purposed as a communal office housing 12-16.  Offices are provisioned with glass top desks that should normally be given to high school students.  Basically its an IT Sweat shop.

Quite oddly, tenure is not a business consideration.  They have a very high rate of turnover.  This mostly appears to be contracts not renewed or staff not retained after initial period. Several key staff left of their own will.

A typical day consisted of working HIPAA related issues in the Tier 3 Remedy ticket system. Problem solving users with their HIPAA Training was an integral part of my job responsibilities.  The hardest part of the job was working with customers who were not satisfied with the system and would not cooperate when trying to assist them. The most enjoyable part was working with the HIPAA Admins, who were so appreciative, and customers who were eager to take advice and resolve the issue.  My co-workers were fantastic and always willing to assist with any issues encountered.

PSI is dedicated to their people.  They care about the customer as well.  They want for the people to have a balanced career --- do your job, but your family comes first.  They have good benefits, the managers are caring, and they have a great HR Department.  They provide training, and push education to better yourself.  The hardest part of the job was not being able to telework.  We could only telework , if approved in advance.  We were able to telework, if an emergency arose.  I don't want to give any bad impressions....this is a great company to work for!!!!

Terrible management, under-skilled, and unqualified. They will talk behind your back and humiliate you in mandatory face meetings. Management staff should be fired! Low morale everywhere. Headquarters either doesn't know or just plain looks the other way. A lot of talented people lost due to these managers that appear to be more interested in their own inner club than what's best for the business itself. Avoid this place at all cost.

It was there first overseas Contract and they had a total lack of leadership and did know what they were getting themselves into and they soon lost the contract because this and how they treated the employees that kept quitting to issues that the people in the states did not listen to or understand and they would not promote anyone from within at all.

Was hired in for a year period, ended up taking over more responsibilities about halfway through. With the changes in government at a high level the gov contracts division was gutted and restructured as a shadow of itself. Company had no other work in the Louisville, KY regionally so that resulted in our high performing team being cut. Overall didn't have any issue with the people or policies.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Flexible Hours and great environment 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not stressful in my opinion. Co workers help you and teach you what you don’t know.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Great! Work closely with military and contractors.
