Pros

There are some good people who work here and a person can learn a lot from them. They are a manufacturer of internationally recognized, good quality snack foods. There is a pension plan in place (however meager it may be) and the employee benefit plan is well thought out and administered. There is an abundance of meetings going all the way down the chain to keep employees "in the loop" on new promotions, products, company direction, etc.

Cons

You seem to put in much more than you get back. I saw people who shouldn't have even been employed move up the ranks within management and then wonder why employees have low morale and are dropping like flies. While the company may preach "work/life balance", it's more like something they can put on paper to look good but will never really have to implement. Rather than invest money to replace an employee who has left the company, they will find ways to redistribute work amongst those who remain who may have already had full plates to begin with. Yearly salary increases are not based on merit, in fact, you're lucky if you receive a salary increase to cover a cost of living increase. Lucky.

Pros

Good retirement and matching 401K. Pretty good overall benefits package

Cons

If you're in management, you can expect to work at least 60 hours per week. Pay is not commensurate with the number of hours worked. PBG hires a lot of campus recruits that have no idea what is expected of them. They think it is going to be easy, but working for PBG requires a unique person. If your single that is the best, because the number of hours required to work is very hard on a marriage. There is not much balance between work and personal life.

Pros

Benefits are really good there. The company has stock options, 401K, great medical/dental/vision, etc .

Cons

Job insecurity - laid off after 4 months. The people there were phony. I was so excited to join the company but the people in my department were not warm and welcoming. People who loudly complained about how much they hated the company and frequently came in late, took 2 hour lunches and left early are still there. I was told that my work quality was impeccable, my work ethic was above board and that I was an excellent employee. Yet, I was laid off while people who spent more time in trouble with managers are still there.
