Poison Kool-Aid

Pros

The mountains are beautiful and your co-workers can be great but everyone spends their days hoping they will receive a call about a new job and looking longingly toward the weekend.

Cons

"Drink the kool-aid" they (literally) said. "It will be fun" they said. It's not. Have a different view on how things should run? If it's not "the PFL way" it won't be heard. Unrealistic expectations are put on you with little to no training and if you're just trying to do your job, you can't. Micromanaging it their specialty. The funniest part is they don't know how to manage. The rotating door of both customers and employees is constant and disheartening. The company itself is a good idea. The current management team? Not so much.

Pros

Some decent fellow employees - job could be okay if it wasn't for management and culture.

Cons

Facility: mouse infested, noisy open concept metal building. Management: There are no more unqualified people to lead than this hand picked group of yayhoos. Literally, you won't find worse, maybe just as bad but not worse. Lead by fear and deception - Have told middle management not to care about the people. It is a revolving door for people quitting and being hired - their solution is not to treat employees better to make them stay, but rather they decided we will try to keep them for a year and then just keep training new ones. This is an actual recent decision. CEO: creepy - if you are long legged and pretty, watch out. Cult member and micromanages the company as if it is his cult. Culture: Fear, Intimidation, Micromanagement and Communism. Training: If you are in sales - all you want. Direct Channel - some. If you are in the TMA division - good luck. Compensation: Average - better than other jobs in the area but not enough to live on - plan on having two jobs. Area: Beautiful but exploding - price of living is outrageous - you can't eat the scenery.

Sucks

Pros

They have good coffee for the employees. That's actually it.

Cons

This is, by far, the worst managed company I have ever seen. The CEO is kind of a cultish figure who seems to have obtained his business knowledge from watching TED lectures and reading Leadership for Dummies. The systemic dysfunction, the narcissistic and incompetent leadership is impossible to overstate. They offer idiotic gimmicks like bringing your dog to work and you get to get drunk at work every Friday. This masks the fact that it is a weird, cultish environment with managers engaged in some of the creepiest weird behavior imaginable. They are looking for specific types to fit in this company and that type is: Drones with no thoughts of your own. If you have those, or display a personality that doesn't fit with conformance, you can literally expect to be shunned.
