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.

Pros

Great opportunity to start a career. You can legitamitely move throughout the company starting with this role.

Cons

Bad contact center environment. Back to back calls every day. They only discuss call times and never what leads to the numbers.
