      Unbelievable

      Pros

      Retirement Benefits, Medical Benefits, Tuition Benefits

      Cons

      It's not really about the work it's about the politics. Even management don't care about the work. It's about how management look to the outside world. It is a filthy place. Old and broken furnisher and dirty carpet.

      Great hours, Nice Employees, Strange Admin Policies

      Pros

      The employees at PGW all make you feel welcome. There are ample opportunities for growth such as a tuition assistance program and trainings. The hours are 40 hours/week and the benefits are great. You have a good work / life balance. There are opportunities to move to other departments if you do not like the one you are working in.

      Cons

      The policies are strange at PGW. The first is that managers claim that the company does not allow working from home. However, then at work, you meet people who get to work from home. The truth is that there is a telecommuting policy in place but it hasn't left the non-pilot stage. Snow days are not a thing. If you get stuck in a blizzard, you have to take vacation. To me, that is not a vacation. The buildings are filled with mice and cockroaches, but as long as you take allergy medication you will be fine. I have a seen a roach in the cafeteria sitting area. A bit scary at work.

      Pros

      PGW is a great company to work for. The work itself in the Distribution Department is tough but the men and women that are grinding it out by your side make for an amazing experience. You're never alone in PGW. From HR, Medical, Management, Security, the ability to reach out to anyone is possible and easy.

      Cons

      The concept of "sick time". Here you have "sick time" that you can take but if you do it is counted as an "occurrence". These occurrences interfere with progressions and possible opportunities in other departments. Wasn't a big fan of that concept.
