Pros

PFG provided excellent training from day one, until the day I left. I always felt like I was being treated like a professional. The benefits were excellent, and there were frequent reviews of our performance. I also believed that the company was reputable, and treated their clients with respect too.

Cons

As far as the company is concerned, there weren't really any cons. I didn't happen to like what I did, but that was not the company's fault.
