      Pros

      This company is a great place for fresh graduates. Learned a lot from the management with the company high standard.

      Cons

      Unwritten requirements to get promotion: You are related, Asian be able to speak the languages. Know 7 habits, preaching about it but not necessarily apply to your daily life Attend all self motivation classes, pay fee from your own pocket and not consider working hours, starting $1400 and up Be your boss BFF. Training can be exhausted, 5 days from morning to night, physically and mentally.

      The art of stringing people along

      Pros

      They are willing to teach you a lot of things, many different areas of the business rather than just one thing. If you are willing to learn. They take chances on hiring people with no experience for leadership positions

      Cons

      Extreme preference and favoritism towards asians, particular in upper management. Tendency to dwell on mundane negative details rather than the big picture. IE I took over, have the sales up higher than they've ever been, customer reviews are very positive overall, especially compared to other stores in the area, have put in 60+ hours somewhat regularly without getting any real shot at the GM title. No recognition is given for this, when regional management comes in the problem becomes how white is the grout between the tiles, how dusty are the tops of the picture frames, how shiny are the copper pipes in the back. Also, the Landmark, Creeser, etc cult classes are ridiculous. At eleven dollars an hour I told them I can't afford 400 dollars plus a hotel room plus missed work. I am made to feel like someone who just makes excuses or doesn't care when I bring this up.

      Perfect job for workaholics. No personal life ever if you work for PRG in operations.

      Pros

      Decent compensation package. It offers a nice starting pay with competitive bonus incentives. Medical and dental insurance offered at a discounted rate.

      Cons

      You have to love what you do because you are at work 50+ hours per week. You will NEVER get two days off back to back and you will always work close to midnight every Friday and Saturday night.
