I was a paid intern at PRG and in the end working at the warehouse just was not what I was looking for in a career. That being said, I bare them no ill will personally, and my low ratings for pay and compensation are because of what I learned from conversations with my coworkers there. In short, temps should expect to stay temps for 3 years before they become official employees and in that time they should not expect pay raises or benefits. I also hear the pay raises after that are less than ideal, but you could also argue that is the story everywhere. What I did notice was the lack of communication between the front of the house employees and the warehouse employees, as the warehouse manager never really took into account the warehouse employees side of the story nor communicate that side to the front of the house employees and would just reiterate the same things the front of the house employees told him. It got to the point that I would rather have skipped the morning meetings and head to the warehouse early to get to work if I could have.

PRG provides a solid Monday to Friday, 8:00-4:30 work schedule that you can count on and will never change unless you elect to do overtime or try to get gigs outside of the shop. Your coworkers around you are very knowledgeable and experienced and will usually be available provide assistance when needed. Interacting with the sales staff can be hit or miss. Some are willing to work with you and are understanding of the limitations of working in the shop, whereas some only look at their inventory screens and make decisions based on the numbers they see without interacting with the technicians. There is absolutely no room to be "promoted" and you must instead hope that you do a good enough job and take on enough responsibilities that the higher-ups deem you worthy of a raise that's higher than the paltry percentage you get based on the union's negotiated four year contract. This is a place where you can have stable work, but you won't be paid much for it (despite the fantastic benefits offered) and you certainly won't be moving anywhere other than potentially different departments within the company (with no pay raise to go with it).

A perfect niche job.  As a business owner that has extremely fluctuating income from month to month, this job is excellent because it allows me to go any day of the week at almost any hour of the day, so long as the job is done in the time frame (weekly) that is provided to me.

My supervisors are available if I need them, but usually "leave me alone" to do my job.  I have had a number of jobs in my life that have a lot of independence built into the job, and this is one of the best.

It only has a few occasional frustrations in that my own preference would be something different than what "company policy" dictates, but I have become accustomed to that aspect of working for a company.

The down side of this job has been the loss of accounts in the past year due to buy-outs and other "political" factors.  I would love another  merchandising job to supplement this one, or if a perfect scenario, one that would replace this one.

Thanks,
Dave

Toxic work environment, culture was to work you till you're burned out. Take time off, but then they wanted you to answer emails, text, and calls when off. Very little job security (if any), ownership kept changing, with each new leader wanting to go a completely different direction. Hard working employees had to keep waiting for raises through all the revolving owners/leadership, though upper positions kept getting raises/promotions. There are plenty of nice workers, but at the same time the place has lots of "clicks". No leaders to lessen the drama (actually, they create a-lot themselves).

never really had clear management. Constantly changing rules and regulations and the people lower on the ladder pay the price. This company perfectly fits the motto "Its not what you know, it's who you know". Nepotism is the biggest problem and the people getting promoted are causing more problems for the ones under them.  When your asked how you feel or what you prefer, only tell management what they want to hear or else yourll get pushed out. 

PRG. Production Resource Group.  Is a great company to work for because of the cutting edge challenges presented in their field. Daily requirements allowed for an exposure to diversified personel and vendors.  Management taught you how to utilize a wide variety of resources inside and outside the company.  Highly professional co-workers well educated and hard working.  The hardest part of the job where the long hours.  Most enjoyable part was the successful bidding and installation of large, complex, lighting/control construction projects.

Worked and learned a lot at PRG Company, Dallas, Tx I worked with the Purchasing Dept., the Engineerning Dept. Called the vendors of this company on a regular basis concerning the quality of their products of nonconforming to meet the engineering drawing.I made at least 100 phone calls and did that many reports and really liked it.This is a great company to work for. It was overwhelming at times but very rewarding. Also worked and assisted engineering to work out problems, of different types in the assembly area ect.

Management is a huge joke. Extremely rude and they say our doors are open for suggestions but don't listen to any ideas you have to help improve your department. Won't even listen to the department leads. They are never wrong even when they installed " their new" computer system which is a failure. They praise lazy people AS LONG AS YOU HAVE PERFECT ATTENDANCE  over hard workers that kill themselves for this company that miss a couple days here and there. Attendance over hard workers any b.c. day. A joke

This warehouse was an adventure. I saw a few inattentive people almost have boxes knocked onto their heads that could've killed them, but that just keeps me working hard. Management was wonderful, I just wish every stagehand cared about their job. A lot of my job was fixing mistakes other stagehands made, putting things back incorrectly from receiving, or not taking things off orders. Still, I love the work.

Taking about 30-40 calls per day. I have learned a lot about the military aspect of USAA. Management is exceptional, very easy going and great at working with representatives due to children, school, and any other life "curve balls". Coworkers are helpful with any question and concerns and helpful if a scheduled change is needed. I love this job, USAA is a great place to work for, they are very understanding and very protective over the security of their workers
