What is the best part of working at the company?
People are nice. There is a pretentious air from upper management.  They are very condescending and demanding. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No home/ work balance.  Long hours. Working from home at nights and weekends is expected. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Great people on site. Cutthroat atmosphere exists with management team. Every person for themselves. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Long days, hours and hours of Teams meetings.

Hard workers ignored. Zero saftey if corporate isn't there. Unfair workloads. Managers discuss private matters about employees as jokes. Retaliation! Very dirty building needs better ventilation. Favoritism and family member of leads and managers get positions and better opportunities and benefit of the doubt in all situations. No equal opportunities for all races. Bathrooms are nasty! HR is non existing and promotes company priorities over complaints. They often tell managers who complained an managers tell others. No confidential info between managers,HR, and workers! 

The turnover rate is high, and of course there are reasons for that. For. eg. before I was hired, there were 4 different people in my position over a 5yr span under the controller.Thing is, the title controller didn't limit him to Job specific duties. Only a "yes man" could last longer than I did under his leadership, unfortunately my character would not let me be a "yes man."

I did 2+ yrs there, but that's because I have the gift to IGNORE BS. There is plenty to go around, upper management turns a blind eye, until said BS hits the fan.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Working remotely

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Thrown to the wolves without very much comprehensive training. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
You're on your own, you either sink or swim.  Most everyone at PECO is geographically separated, so the company feels pretty disjointed and any "company culture" is what comes across on the too-numerous conference calls.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Half the day working on spreadsheets, the other half on conference calls.

Company was basically in start-up mode when I was hired. I learned a tremendous amount of knowledge developing and implementing KPI's that we used to make decisions and run the company. I started with one direct report and had 5 upon completion of my tenure.  Every year we set financial and operational goals for our team, and every year we surpassed them significantly.  Lots of travel every week to multiple operations throughout the East, Puerto Rico and Canada.  

I was an Asset Protection truck driver.  I worked on my own and loved the independance.  The pay was decent but the benefits were very expensive and the 401(k) match poor.  Promised bonuses were rare as were raises.
  
Senior management seemed to either not know nor care what happens in day to day operations and many different departments never speak to each other or even know that they exist

Main Office is in NY, you will not work in person with any others in the company.  This job is for the most part self type of employment.  I liked the work environment it was basically my responsibility to get the job done with in the Companies guidelines.  I felt more like a boss than an employee.  I was given all the the necessary tools to be successful.

This company has treated me well of the years.  It has also provided plenty of opportunities to learn and also advance vertically.  This company is full of smart people who want to do great things.  Management encourages all their employees to think critically and share their ideas.  Their only fatal flaw is that that they don't compensate their employees fairly.

Free Coffee and drinks (soft and Iced Teas).

Upper Management was poorly skilled at running the company

Co Workers were very nice

Controller was a trouble maker talked about you behind your back

The receptionist was also a talker behind your back
