Pros

I want to say how amazing it was to work here. I absolutely loved working with everyone, and the team are all extremely knowledgeable and more than happy to assist with the junior members, and with as much knowledge and experience there is not a single person who makes you feel belittled or stupid about a subject or asking a question. When COVID hit the company kept in stride and continued to make sure everyone employed was happy and the company continued forward. I have experience across many industries, but nowhere else can you feel such a positive environment as what you get here. Just like with any other place, you get what you put in. If you have a terrible attitude and are not willing to learn, then you may not enjoy working here. However, if you come in with a positive attitude and put in the effort to learn you will be rewarded. I was employed for 6 months in the Support and Hosting departments, but I was moved up to Custom Development at 6 months due to drive and determination to learn and progress. If you have the drive, you will continue to grow! In short, by joining the team the pay for entry level position may not be as much as a larger company, but it is a great way to get into the industry and start with the experience needed to advance in the industry. Not to mention that there are a lot of learning opportunities, and plenty of directions you can advance.

Cons

FileMaker is a niche market, which is not necessarily a con, but it gives you experience in a smaller market making it a little more difficult if you did want to move to another section of programming or software. That does NOT mean that it is not a useful tool, just that it is more focused. There are plenty of companies and people still using it, so it is a useful skill to have and a great way to create a career.

Pros

PCI has a supportive staff and good collaborative environment. I did a variety of work that let me broaden by experience.

Cons

There are a lot of different clients and priorities to juggle and they change often. This is largely the nature of the contract development business.

Pros

Despite the difficulties we've had with management, I've had the opportunity to work on some truly exciting and impactful projects here at the company. It's been a great learning experience, and I'm grateful for the chance to be a part of something bigger than myself.

Cons

During my time at the company, I observed that the President was often arbitrary in their decision-making process , which made me feel uneasy about the direction the company was heading in. I felt trapped in my position because I didn't want to be associated with the potential negative consequences of the President's actions. Furthermore, it was frustrating to see that some of the decisions made by the President appeared to be a waste of resources and time, which could have been used to more effectively towards achieving the company's goals.
