      Pros

      Extreme amount of vacation and sick time; on-site fitness center

      Cons

      In many departments, individuals are not promoted based on performance - individuals are promoted based on friendships and other relationships. PUC is full of politics, smiling faces and back-stabbing. Senior Management fills positions with those that they feel will "do their bidding." Morals and values are said to be a high priority, however they are not. Very bad treatment of staff occurs and no one is ever held accountable. Vacation and sick time do not compensate for what you may have to deal with at PUC.

      Decent employer, great benefits, terrible pay

      Pros

      The benefits they provide are awesome. Sometimes they reward you with a lunch or a little party. Easy work. I have my weekends free and it is possible to take a vacation day when one needs a break from the place.

      Cons

      No real advancement opportunity. Don't really get to get promoted unless you happen to know someone who will keep a lookout for you. The pay isn't great at all. For some of the things you have to deal with, the pay and the fact that you can't really advance makes it hard to want to stay. Human Resources is a joke! You go to them for help, but they are all about the talk and not about actually doing something for you. Went to get information about what positions are available and the best way I could get my foot in the door and the lady said she would get back to me and has never done so. Any mention of them providing a class or making it possible to move up is just pushed aside. Pretty sad and highly annoying.
