Pros

Good place to advance in a company in many different ways. Very diversified as far as what jobs you can work, and what new skill you can learn. This is only from a headquarter's perspective, though. I have gotten many opportunities to travel, visit DCs, and learn about how new projects are developed and accomplished. I have been given the chance to offer my thoughts without feeling threatened or intimidated by senior members on the teams I have worked for. Most people are very open and sociable, and always willing to help out if needed. Great networking opportunities.

Cons

Work-life balance in the field is not great. I will probably avoid having to work there (even though it offers a much better understanding of operations) simply because I do not want to work all day, every day for little to no extra money. This can be a pro or a con depending on who is reading this review, but some jobs require a lot of (sometimes needless) travel. I can get a lot of the same work done without having to spend 4/5 days of the week in some hotel room away from my family. Although the accommodations are very nice, I'd rather not travel if it isn't absolutely necessary... but I am a homebody, so that is why this is under the "downsides," where it might be an upside to someone else.

Pros

Committed to hard-working employees who will get rewarded if they go above and beyond the basic 40-hour week. Friendly office environment, communication from top-level is sufficient. Opportunities for advancement and gaining experience in different areas abound, you just need to ask.

Cons

Work can take over life sometimes.

Pros

1) The compensation; 2) The benefits - excluding holidays; 3) The people; 4)

Cons

The time committment - there is truly no work/life balance; the family is always sacrificed - for whatever reason; the competition is fear - no one wants to help unless it's something in it for them ---be it recognition, an extra day off, an I.O.U., a promotion, etc.; working the holidays; management not pushing back on customers and drawing the line and saying, hey, this is what we need to make this a win/win for all of us; it's usually PBG making the sacrifice of it's people (low level customer reps) to satify the customer at the expense of it's employees; 100 days of summer; Customer reps working their days off; working 60 - 70 hours per week;
