Pros

A. New facility with plenty of amenities B. Most employees can enjoy flexible hours and PTO C. Booming industry that will allow for plenty of growth in the near future

Cons

A. Low pay that is not comparable to companies in similar industries. The benefits offered do not make up for this. Benefits are relatively common and nothing spectacular. B. Clique-like in nature (specifically amongst low level employees) C. It appears that if a fellow colleague is well-liked, they can get away with more (office politics play a big role here). Things tend to be evaluated on a case by case basis. D. Bending work place norms (i.e. M/F employees in mid management and support roles fraternizing). Competitors in similar markets do not allow this kind of behavior and there are harsh consequences. E. Family company with plenty of family members working amongst employees. I personally don't want me workplace to resemble a family. F. Members of the executive team will do rounds to ensure employees are working. Babysitting your employees will not keep the good ones.

Pros

Everyone is willing to help one another. If you need advice on pricing or differences in product or need to find the best vendor contacts, there are colleagues willing and eager to help you learn. That seems like a very average thing to say about a company, but it is staggering just how many companies (no matter the size) instill an "f-u, figure it out" mentality after and sometimes during initial training. P&T, thankfully, does not take this approach. They have instead decided that we're all on the same team here, and we need to help one another to be on the same page for our vendors and clients.

Cons

I would like to see more training on how to handle and process large scale opportunities. So many persons are @'ed regarding that it creates a corporate bystander effect, i.e. "okay, am I supposed to do something at this stage or is he/she supposed to do something at this stage?"

Pros

Can’t remember many pros from working here.

Cons

The managers are creeps. One of them sleeps with girls that are below him. The other ones make more money than the account managers they lead but don’t even know how to input an order into the system. Weird right? The CEO will never know your name but will come around the desks talking to employees like they are kindergarteners. Also, HR doesn’t care about you I promise! Before I put in my two weeks, I told multiple people and found out they were also looking for other jobs.
