Pros

I don't want to diminish their work ethic but that's the only positive since ALL of the negative reviews are true.

Cons

Do yourself a favor and read through all of the negative reviews and compare it to the positive reviews. Don't the positive reviews look too good to be true? That's because they go around the office asking people to write positive reviews. The negative reviews paint an honest picture of the environment at PLJ - it's horrible. That's why they can't seem to keep people for more than 3 months.

Pros

Leadership - I believe a huge part of the success culture stems from the CEO. Of course it is also about the team. There are great and motivated employees, but there's a system with the company values that is set in place which enables us to align with the direction of our leader's vision quickly, and also improve our performance. We have daily huddles that helps the team understand where everyone is and keeps everyone alert. We have continuous training and learning - We get a ton of training and resources. It is fun and rewarding. There's encouragement in place for those who want to develop their competencies or gain more knowledge. The training is for everyone, even older employees whose been here for years. Everyone benefits from the development programs. The fun 'stuff' - You get wellness perks (gym memberships, insurance), random gifts, team activities, weekend brunches and celebrations, anniversaries, and 'just because' gifts, especially for going above and beyond. That is my favorite thing, to be appreciated and acknowledged :)

Cons

Commute is tough. I've tried different routes, so far I still hit traffic. That's LA for you. I still would take the extra drive because I love the company and the neighborhood is really nice. There's zumba and yoga across the street which was one of the gifts I got for an idea to help the team be more efficient.

Pros

I’ve worked for PLJ for 4 years. The best thing about this company is they really invest in you and your skill set. They have spent a LOT on employees to take them on fully paid educational seminars (this includes meals and entertainment) and have bought many expensive educational courses—all to help you grow personally and professionally. You are not stuck doing the same thing 5 years later like many other jobs out there. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, you probably haven’t been out there in a good company. The management has an open door policy. They genuinely value and appreciate your input. The CEO and executive team always encourages you to come to them for help on any problems you’re facing. Management is pro-active and is in there in the helms with you—not something you see in many other executives. The company culture: strong work ethics and results-driven. It's nice to be around people who believe in the value of hard work. Your paycheck is determined by your overall contribution to the company over time. Management practices the highest level of integrity. Standards and a good moral compass is a must to work here. Management does not and will never tolerate anything dishonest nor indecent for the sake of gain. Management shows their appreciation through random acts like thoughtful careful gifts and random outings (A trip to Disneyland and holiday dinners to Mastro’s steakhouse, just to name a few) -Paid holidays and vacation, retirement contribution, free Friday lunches, monetarily rewarding KPI bonus incentives

Cons

There are sometimes a lot of projects and you have to know how to prioritize.
