Pluspunten
- Good people: loved and respected my immediate team and met many great people throughout the company - Usually an ok work/life balance: online by 9 and usually offline by 6/6:30 (but definitely client/work dependent)
Minpunten
After nearly 3 years (34 months) of high performance and hard work for the company and client, I received: - No pay raises - No title changes - An ever increasing and overwhelming workload After 18 months of working hard and becoming an expert in the role I was hired to perform - I was switched to a drastically different position with a harder workload, more responsibility, and longer hours (all without a pay raise or title change). I was told to see the switch as an "opportunity". After giving me only 8 weeks to acclimate to the new position, I was unexpectedly, and without warning, pulled into an employee review for "poor performance". Despite mastering the role in an appropriate amount of time (no thanks to the bi-monthly leadership and HR meetings, which culminated with being told that I have "greatly improved in my role"), I was later skipped over for a pay increase, with the employee review sited as the reason. At that point in time, I had been working for pep for two and a half years and had still not received a raise of any kind. While I did sharpen many useful skills working at pep (time, project, and client management most importantly) and met a lot of great people - pep, in my opinion, is a place to work for a year out of college, and then spring board elsewhere as soon as the opportunity rises. I would not look at pep as a long term career choice, especially if you are placed in a satellite office.
