      Pros

      Nice campus; good benefits; most coworkers are wonderful people

      Cons

      Severe technology deficit will make it difficult for PFG to compete in the future. PFG thinks it's more special than it actually is, and as a result, eschews outside expertise, preferring homegrown 'experts' who really aren't experts, but people who read and believe vendor sales pitches. The executive management group (EMG) doesn't function as a real team; rather they are a group of people, each of whom is maneuvering to advance their own agenda.

      Cons

      True corporate environment--leadership is definitely out for themselves. Not a lot of training. No job clarity.

      Pros

      Training was always available to improve skills on taking inbound phone calls and help was always available when you had questions about a product to explain to a customer.

      Cons

      You had to transfer to different departments to gain more experience and have opportunity for promotions to management. When trying to improve myself or gain more responsible I was always told don't worry your tun will come or master the products and we will talk about it later.
