Pros

Good compensation compared to service based companies.

Cons

Regional biasedness can be seen in the selection of candidates for award and promotion. If you don't get a good manager you would suffer.

Pros

Very nice gym at HQ that's free to use, free parking, tunnels to avoid weather between parking garage/different buildings. Most people in PGI (think Wall St) seem to enjoy what they do. Pretty good benefits.

Cons

Mgmt wants to keep everything like it has been, not open to new ideas, you won't be recognized for being good at your job. Everything is about being friends with mgmt and not about merit. Training is lacking and you will be faulted for not doing more yourself. I asked for more work, was not given any, and then reviewed poorly for not being able to read minds and take work from others (that I wasn't trained on). Pay is exceptionally poor and raises are non-existent. Good luck surviving long enough to get a promotion after being overworked and underappreciated.
