Pros

Free pretzels and a few good people

Cons

Where do we begin. This is a god awfully run company. Everything about it is terrible from cleanliness to executive leadership. 1) executive leadership. It’s terrible here. They keep getting promoted and don’t do anything. Yes, they don’t do anything. The two that have been running the show the past few years have run this company into the ground. Stupid decision after stupid decision has left us in worse shape in what they allege to have fixed but personnel is constantly leaving. We have not improved processes, morale, efficiency, etc. it’s a pile of garbage now. One of the executives is a simple minded fool who stares at numbers all day waiting for them to change and not understanding that’s it’s his job to run the company. The other one is the laziest person I’ve ever seen. He hides behind fake “improvements” and throws people under the bus. Never have I’ve seen a person so decorated and did absolutely nothing to deserve it. Then we have another one who is the worst throw it over the fence person I’ve ever seen. Lord it’s bad. 2) there is no professional development here. There’s no training here period. Like in other reviews unless you are one of the owners friends or his sons, there is no future here for you. 3). We have inconsistent standards. There are rules in place and enforced depending on who you are and made mad or who you are related to. The worst is the dress code. Business casual is great and all but sweat suites and slippers should not be acceptable. 4) extremely tone deaf. Certain people get promoted for doing nothing. We all know who they are. That’s just a common trend. That’s what it seems to be the secret sauce to moving up here. Join this company and don’t do anything. There’s a future in it for you. 5) no body cares anymore. Walk around the building, no one cares. It’s reflected in every level. There’s never leadership here. The highest level managers just socialize all day. There’s clutter everywhere. There’s not even batteries in the clocks. People leave excrements on the floor or wipe snot on the walls of the bathrooms. People leave food in the sink of the cafeteria. There is no pride working here anymore. It’s soulless and depressing. 6) there is no clear strategy. No one knows what’s going on. We haven’t had leadership address the company as a whole my entire time working here like most places Ive worked at. Everyone is confused. 7) the owner is checked out. He’s all in his books. Fine. But, you need to let go or sell the company.

Pros

There are pros? I wouldn't think so.

Cons

If you're looking for management who will throw you under the bus and any other good employee while looking out for the other bad employees, this is the place for you. Self starter? Want no training or development help and be thrown to the wolves? This is the company for you! Otherwise, RUN.

Pros

A lot of good, well-meaning people in lower level positions

Cons

PEI found success decades ago being a leader in a niche market, but with new competitors and up-to-date technology, PEI is trying to stay afloat. The software system used here is from 1980 (no joke), with many of its time wasting processes being chalked up to it being "just the way it is". While they preach that we're all one "big family", the reality is far from it. The culture amongst lower-level employees feels dejected and discouraged, while upper-level managers are content as long as their pockets are full from taking away lower-level employees bonuses and withholding a 401k match. The man at the top is a "Tech CEO turned Novelist", who has spent the past 3 years throwing company money away to focus on his new crime novels. His sons also work for the company and receive new promotions every few months. Together, this family micromanages everything, removing all authority from lower-level managers to make decisions for their team. They worked to shift the work schedule from a hybrid 3in/2out schedule to a 4in/1out schedule, where employees cannot wfh on a Monday or Friday. While employees have full capability to wfh, there is rarely any exceptions made for severe weather or personal matters. Overall, there are no growth opportunities here. Your best hope is to share a last name with the CEO, or to wait for your boss to retire or for someone else to leave. Even if promoted, most low-level management positions hold no weight, and just increase your workload without any authority or financial gain. I suggest looking elsewhere for work.
