How’s the pay?
We believe there’s more to compensation than a paycheck, including the flexibility to balance work with life, the ability to grow professionally—perhaps get an advanced degree, to get and stay healthy, and to build a career with a company of integrity. So, along with competitive, market-based pay, we offer a rich variety of benefit programs, including medical and dental, financial counseling, retirement, life insurance, disability insurance, and much more. The Pitney Bowes 401(k) Plan lets you build a diverse portfolio and after a year of service contributes matching funds. Employees also have the chance to share in our success through a Stock Purchase Plan that allows them to buy Pitney Bowes common stock at a discount.

Can I focus on staying healthy?
We’ll do our part by offering you a broad array of health and wellness programs—including nutrition education, stress management and weight control. Our healthcare plans stress preventive care, chronic condition management and provide protection against the potential costs of a major illness. We provide resources such as maternity management, nurse hotlines, free financial advice and a strong employee assistance program. Depending on location, you’ll have access to one of our seven award–winning on-site clinics, our on-site pharmacy, fitness centers and nutrition-focused cafeterias. We want you to take control of your health and we’ve come up with some pretty thoughtful ways to help.

Will I still have a life?
You have friends, family, and social commitments outside of work. We value and respect that.  Most employees have two to five weeks of vacation, depending on years of service, as well as 12 paid holidays a year. (Hourly employees of Pitney Bowes Management Services accrue time for planned and unplanned absences through the Choice Time program.) Pitney Bowes also encourages flexible work arrangements such as part-time schedules, telecommuting, and compressed workweeks that allow employees to integrate their personal needs with the needs of the business.

How do you define “grow”?
We encourage professional development and provide employees with access to a variety of online learning, performance support tools and instructor-led courses through Pitney Bowes University. We also sponsor a generous tuition reimbursement program so that employees may pursue advanced degrees (college and graduate degrees) from accredited institutions. Plus, our training and development professionals have designed programs that identify, educate, and support future leaders. In fact, Pitney Bowes ranked among the top 20 in leadership development among 300 major U.S. companies surveyed by CEO Magazine and Hewitt Associates.

How diverse is the workforce ?
With more than 35,000 employees in 130 countries, we have long understood the value of a diverse  and inclusive workforce in creating a culture where “new,” “better,” and “different are popular. In fact, inclusion is one of the metrics we use to measure our year-to-year success. And it’s been a core value for some time. For example, in 1942, our CEO, Walter Wheeler, boycotted a hotel when it refused to register one of our African American sales people. In 1950, the National Urban League recognized Pitney Bowes for its leadership in providing job opportunities to African Americans. Most recently, Black Enterprise Magazine listed Pitney Bowes as one of the “40 Best Companies for Diversity”. We have undertaken innovative initiatives for women in leadership, people who are early in their careers, and strive to be an employer of choice for older workers. We have not been timid in this area. View all diversity awards.

Is there a Pitney Bowes “green” movement?
We began to reduce our carbon footprint, minimize our waste, and protect resources long before these became buzzwords. Our Board of Directors’ Corporate Responsibility Committee was founded back in 1980. And today, our Energy Task Force is set to eliminate more than 380 tons of carbon dioxide emissions. Our Go Green campaign in Canada reuses or recycles 100% of imaging equipment returned from leases. And 2007 marked the ninth year in which the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recognized Pitney Bowes for significant recycling and solid waste reduction with an induction into their Hall of Fame. Now, Pitney Bowes and four other companies have teamed with the World Business Council for Sustainable Development to create Eco-Patent Commons—an initiative that provides access to intellectual property before patent protection expires, so inventors can get new energy-saving ideas to market sooner.

Will I be proud to say I work for you?
Too many times, market pressures tempt leaders to compromise the integrity of their firms—often creating a devastating impact on their organizations, workers, and customers. But as you’ll hear in the videos of our senior executives, “Pitney Bowes has never lost its soul.” That’s due to a number of factors, including the ability of our management teams to transmit the Pitney Bowes standards to succeeding generations. It’s a culture that has always stressed ethical conduct in every business venue. And it’s manifest in our focus on employee development, advocacy for a diverse workforce, and a longstanding commitment to the environment and to the communities where we live and work—particularly in the areas of literacy and education. Business Ethics Magazine puts us on their list of “100 Best Corporate Citizens”, but we hope you’ll do your own research on this topic, too. We welcome your inquiries. View all leadership awards.

What's available for students?
