Pros

From my first interview through my first day, I have had a great experience. The communication was prompt and thorough. I was never left wondering when and what was coming next. I have officially been here 3 weeks, so I am very new. The onboarding was well organized and helpful. From the day I arrived, I have been greeted with support. My boss and co-workers are genuinely amazing!! I am grateful to be here!

Cons

This isn't exclusive to PGE and I'm not sure it is really a con, but a bit more time to complete onboarding tasks before jumping into the role would be really helpful. A half day with someone available to answer questions would definitely make hitting the ground running easier.

Pros

There are many opportunities to learn and move up - more career mobility than anywhere else I've worked. My boss, my team, and my department are solid.

Cons

There have been big some changes in the last year that made things feel a little unstable for a minute - things have settled down and are feeling stable now, though.
