Pros

A fantastic company with a lot of upbeat people and a tremendous amount of opportunity to grow. The amount of different types of businesses means there's always a possibility to advance.

Cons

The company culture can be somewhat U.S.-centric, which is a disadvantage to their global presence. Benefits are good, not great.

Pros

PFG has really great benefits! Their tuition reimbursement is one of the best. The 401k has a really good match formula as well.

Cons

It's a great place to work except for their call centers. The policies that govern the requests for time off extremely difficult to deal with. Dr appts are almost impossible to schedule. They also changed their performance reviews. They went from an analytical numbers and results based system to a much more subjective narrative system designed to make it easier to not have to give as many raises as before.
