Its annual growth rate is nearly 60% and today it has 3,600 employees.What's Kelly's secret? A dynamic, even nutty culture! PSS employees can fire their bosses. Truck drivers have \"CEO\" on their business cards. There are no policy manuals. The company's leaders--there's no such thing as a \"manager\" at PSS--are required to study Plato and Dostoevsky. Many have become millionaires, and despite the pressure, they love their jobs. PSS is that most unusual of organizations--a fast-track, high-growth business that's also a great place to work.Kelly himself is the ultimate success story: after growing up in an orphanage, flunking out of college, and serving in Viet Nam, he built an incredibly successful career--his way. In Faster Company, he tells you how he did it--how he built the company that has been dubbed \"a cross between the U.S. Marines and Animal House.\"Patrick Kelly (Jacksonville, Florida) is Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Physician Sales \u0026amp; Service (PSS)\/World Medical, Inc. It is the fastest-growing company in the history of the medical supply industry, with annual revenues for this year projected at $1 billion.
