Pros

Great sales associates that kept me sane throughout my horrible experience. Free clothing however cheaply they are made.

Cons

The MOST horrendous upper management I have ever had the displeasure of working under. Bottom line scum.

Pros

The best part of working for PEI is the people who work there. Your peers. NOT upper management.

Cons

The family thinks and runs the business like communists. They manage by fear, intimidation and insulting. I truly feel sorry for certain people in the HR Department who truly want to make a difference, but cannot because of certain "others" in HR who have no idea what they are doing. Shady HR Leaders.

Pros

I received a very strong foundation in product development while at this job. Working with overseas and my sales team counterparts also was helpful for future opportunities.

Cons

Although a public company, this company is run like a mom and pop private company. The benefits are lack luster and management is not strong. I had one of my worse experiences in all of my career at this company. My boss was terrible to me and all of my co workers and after years of complaints, she we finally let go.
