Avantages
After seeing these bad reviews, I waited until I had a little more time to inspect PLJ and what they’re all about. After about 3 months, the “honeymoon phase” is over and I’m comfortable saying my opinion. I don’t know where the bad reviews are coming from. Yes, you have to perform and not slack… but isn’t that a reasonable expectation? You are getting paid to work. I’ve gotten every promise given to me. Competitive pay, good bonus program and good benefits – with more incentives to come once I’m on my official 91st day (after probationary period). Since the (almost) three months I’ve been here, I’ve gotten training from everyone. If I encounter any problem, the entire team is there supporting and motivating me…everyone from the owners to my manager to my co-workers. I’ve always felt respected and valued for the results I’ve given. It’s nice to be noticed for doing great work rather than being treated equally next to someone who’s barely doing anything. It encourages me to do even better everyday. And I’ve gone to other training sessions and must say, the training from the CEO is top-tier. It’s encouraging to gain experience and get guidance at that caliber.
Inconvénients
The company culture is built on high achievers. If you’re doing average work, you’ll get noticed. If you’re socializing instead of working, you’ll get noticed. (Management doesn’t even have to observe it. The team itself will report it. No one here likes being distracted from their work.) This environment is best for those who are looking for more than just a regular job.
