Pros

Opportunity to work on different projects, including high level, client facing engagements. Just in time learning, with lots of responsiblity. Great environment for the self-driven, who like to problem solve and grow a book of business. High performing team, willing to help out when needed. A president who is mission driven, and wants to make a difference. Double digit growth year after year.

Cons

Pay not great in early stages. Work schedule routinely exceeds 40 hours per week. Project work can be stressful at times when priorities conflict. Not a lot of support staff so one needs to be self sufficient.. Company is growing fast, and support infrastructure is still trying to catch up with growth.

Great for sales types, not so great for technical types.

Business Outlook

Pros

PCG is highly focused on the ever-changing needs of their many institutional customers and on the sales efforts involved in acquiring new customers. Those whose career tracks lean toward sales and project management have a lot of opportunities here.

Cons

Technical staff are answerable directly to sales staff and cannot advance far within the organization without switching to a sales focus. This limits the depth of expertise the organization can accumulate.
