Pros

Generally friendly people, many hard-working, strong emphasis on work-life balance, some (not many) legacy benefits, family friendly and low cost of living Midwest environment

Cons

Largely weak senior mgmt team, seriously damaged investment performance, US/Midwest view of investing, uninspiring pay, benefits progressively downgraded, passive-aggressive culture. Marked deterioration in quality of PFG's CEO is a liability for PGI, esp since he decidedly would prefer to keep PGI on a leash.
