Pros

PGE is a family friendly, congenial place to work. Everything is relationship driven. The company also has very generous benefits packages.

Cons

The relationship-drive culture is nice in many aspects, but it also can be problematic. Accountability is low, things take longer than they should to get done, poor performers aren't fired. The good news is that these problems are understood by senior management and they are working to improve.
