Pros

There are none with this company.

Cons

Everything. The CEO is just crazy. He will walk around and harass everyone. You will be yelled at in front of your peers and belittled by him all the time. His right hand man is a snake and has quickly turned in to him. They will lie to your face and tell you everything is ok, and you are part of the team and then fire you the next day like they did with out previous boss. We had a director over our group about 4 months ago and they fired him because he took the time to teach us things and help us grow rather than just yell at us. He was the best manager we have ever had.

Thank you for your feedback and we’re truly disconcerted to hear about your feelings regarding our CEO. It’s unfortunate you’re not enjoying your time here as an employee at PFL. If there are specific issues, we would appreciate hearing more so we can take steps to improve. As you know, PFL is a fast-paced and rapidly growing company. We raise our bar every year with our performance and expectations of ourselves, sales teams and leaders. Upward mobility is a key focus for PFL, and we are PROUD of our success and track record of promoting leaders from within. I chose not to debate a feeling but rather say that people who grow their career in PFL is impressive and their hard work is well deserved. We appreciate you taking the time to submit your thoughts.

Pros

The ice machines. Ice fits into most bottles

Cons

Where do we start... the CEO is a disgrace and basic human decency does not apply. HR should protect employees from him and instead we get “ it’s just his way. You have to modify your own behavior and react differently”. Everyone in HR should be ashamed to have that title, especially the Director, as she condones his behavior the most. This place is a joke to those of us who haven’t grown up here and know what real world companies are like. The homegrown leaders are incapable of recognizing a good business model, even if it were disguised as one of the weekly jelly donuts that are crammed down their throats. The CEO touts his values as ones he actually practices and they are laughable and do not apply. The Senior leaders are puppets who will not stand up to change. They condone and celebrate their accomplishments and drive out mid level management who really make a difference, while instead should be looking within to see who should get fired. (3-4 weeks ago we lost a huge advocate for us who was the sacrificial lamb to his inept boss and her horrible HORRIBLE leadership skills). Most people are hanging on here until they find something new. We don’t all drink the koolaid.. just keep our heads down until we are rescued by companies who recognize our strengths.

Pros

I love working with my customers and my coworkers. The idea of automated print marking is a wonderful concept and it is exciting to help my customer utilize this new automated marketing channel.

Cons

The executive management is dangerous and abusive. There is zero opportunity for career advancement or even a lateral move within the company. Struggling to make revenue goals, retain customers, and employees. I adore working with most of the people at PFL, however the relationship bonds are that of those all stuck together in a prison camp, not people working collaboratively towards a common goal.
