Pros

flexible schedule, benefits but no 401K match, company training, some team building activities, nice teammates but when it comes to numbers everyone is on their own.

Cons

Constant micromanagement, employees are overworked, they care more numbers over quality, very high turnover, it seems like they are always hiring but that is due to people always leaving, lots of overtime due to lots of employees leaving the company or missing work for being sick, leaving their job to the others who stay. They have unrealistic expectations and blame the employees for not reaching their goals. Poor management.

Pros

For an online university, PG offers a great sense of community for their faculty with virtual conferences across departments, a literary festival open to all faculty and most/all students, regular department meetings and other chances to converse and connect.

Cons

The workload is intense and the pay incommensurate with the hours faculty must put into grading across multiple fronts--journals, discussion boards, unit assignments, seminars--and writing to students on the DBs and replying to their emails within 24 business hours. Annual raises are modest at best. The review process does not encourage exceptional teaching, only average--because it is all but impossible, no matter how many glowing reviews you get from students, stellar presentations you deliver internally and externally, etc., to be rated higher than a 3 out of 5.
