CPI Card Group Inc (PMTS)

[FUNMAN]

Keeping track of hirings and firings @ PMTS


Look at all of these job openings (all listed below).


I am going to keep watching PMTS for a turnaround opportunity. There may never be one though.


I am sorry I ever told people I invested in PMTS (twice) before the R/S was announced. Embarrassing. Thankfully I sold quickly after the R/S was announced.


I'm licking my wounds but they were merely "flesh wounds". I hope anyone else who followed me in weren't hurt very much.


IMO ... Wholly cow, this is a major stay-away-from-investing-in-PMTS until they get their staffing under control and a new sales strategy is released.


And take a look at some of the employee reviews. Granted, some people might have a bone to pick, but there are quite a few.

Look at all of these job openings.


Definitely the Director of Sales needs a better person than the last one who presided over a revenue decline of nearly $200 million.


The Controller saw everything financial.



The Staff Accountant and Accountant were part of the same team. It's quite possible some of these people abandoned ship because they don't believe the company can be saved because with the switch to mobile wallets, maybe they know the CPI product is no longer viable or desireable by forward thinking corporations looking to go paperless in every way.
