Pros
There are some great people who still work at the company. The 401K and some of the other benefits are good. Casual dress code.
Cons
This company started out as something special, but it has changed and not for the good. Multiple rounds of lay-off's, followed by unreasonable budget expectations, and an extremely stressful toxic environment have ruined this company. When the Chairman tells everybody he has brought in a new CEO to make him a lot of money, and he makes jokes prior to informing the company of lay-off's you have a problem. Top it all off with a dip in the education business and this company is on it's way down. Prediction is that it is flipped again by 2018 and stripped for parts. The company is currently run by a lot of people who have never worked any where else. So for 10-15 years these officer level people have worked there, right out of college, and they think the way the founder treats people and ran the company is the right way. They mask everything behind "culture". But a company's culture isn't about free candy, soda machines, ping pong tables, and being able to wear flip flops in the summer. The culture is about the people. Not the executive team, but the actual worker bee's who make the company run. Until they figure that out PF will continue to head south. I used to love working at PF, for about 3 years then I thought things just got worse and worse and worse and worse. When I go into interviews I have actually had people snicker at me when they see PF on my resume. As if they know the company is a joke. How do you go from the number one agency in town for two years in a row and no longer even be in the top 3 now? By only focusing on inflating budget numbers to try to trick somebody into buying your company. Then, don't deliver. The budgets year over year are so aggressive they cannot be hit. Especially with the education market in a serious down swing. DO NOT GO TO WORK HERE!!!!! They are literally re-arranging the deck chairs on the titanic.
