Pros

Free food and 1 hour breaks. Salary potential was high until they lost government contract

Cons

Company will work you to death and doesn't appreciate anything that you do. Owners will yell at employees for hours. Cameras are every where spying on employees. Fired 50+ people in one day. Huge amount of turn over. Even if you are a loyal employee for years one day they will find something to yell at you about and then fire you without giving you a chance to rectify the situation. Micro manage every aspect of the company. Even if you go above and beyond they arent considering raises or bonuses and will not work with the employees to figure something out at all. Company is losing contacts one by one and is in a downward spiral.

Thanks for your comments. We’re very sorry that you don’t feel like your contribution was valued. We do care very much about all our employees and we’re sorry that it seems like you feel your perspective was misunderstood. For many years, we were able to consider both raises and bonuses. For our many employees who do go above and beyond, we do take care of them in whatever ways we can, financially when possible and other ways as well. While contracts come and go, we feel that we are in a very good position moving forward and have very strong growth opportunities in the near, medium and long term. We have solid government contracts and very strong potential in new markets. Our core team is still very strong and continues to provide our existing customers with the same, high level of service that PEC has been known for in our 31 year history.

Pros

Free dinner and lunch Off street parking Decent starting salary for a first time office job Friendly coworkers who will help when needed Okay hours

Cons

Progressive Expert Consulting has a very poor CEO and management department. Their main priority and focus is to keep the "Helpdesk support" room full. They will hire anyone with or without a degree and stick them in that room. In most cases the hard working employees in that room end up leaving or being let go after they grow bored and restless in that room and need/ want more responsibility within the company but are never granted it. The company rather than promote internally like a normal company will look for higher paid potential employees online who may posses a degree but do not know how the main operation in the company works. This is when the lowest people in the bracket will end up training these other employees for a few weeks and they will then go off and make double what Helpdesk support makes but will not know nearly enough to do their job title. The company is constantly hiring and firing numerous employees at once and will have a very public and sometimes humiliating display of firing employees often times in front of their peers. Avoid this company.

Thanks for your comments, they are very well thought out. We do appreciate your service to our company. Our Helpdesk Support Staff personnel are some of the most important people in our company. It is an entry level position and is one of the ways to be a part of our company. We recognize that people may want or need additional responsibility but we have to balance that with their ability to handle that additional responsibility. We recognize that each person’s perception of their ability may not be the same as our perception of their ability. In those cases, we try to welcome an open dialog to try to come to a common understanding. In the past, we have had some supervisors who have not done this particularly well. We also, at a management level, recognize that we can improve our communication. Since the time you left your review, we have made some structural changes to the oversight in our Helpdesk Support Staff as well as intentional and substantive changes in the way that we communicate company-wide. It’s our hope that these changes will help current and future employees have a better understanding of what is going on around the company.
