Vantaggi
Decent benefits and good amount of time-off.
Svantaggi
Management, all of them especially Sales. PQ has a terrible Sales Management Team! They do not values their salespeople and continuously re-organize the sales teams. The current Sales leadership has made making commission or goal nearly impossible and they will continue to tell you that you should run your territory as "your own business". Yeah, right, except every little discount needs to be approved by at least two layers of management which takes negotiating and closing sales out of the sales reps. hands and you make very little on any sale now. If you like being treated like a child then take a sales job here. If you go out drinking with your manager you may be okay for a while as well. You better hope PQ does not buy the current company you work for...they will say all the right things at the beginning then slowly ruin your company and fire you and everyone else. Yes, the Glassdoor reviews were correct, even though we were told to ignore them because they were just from disgruntled employees. Applying for an internal job is also a burden. As a current employee applying for other positions in the company I was treated like any other candidate, in fact the recruiter that did my preliminary interview was on contract in another state and had no clue what I did with the company. I was sent an automated message from HR that the position I interviewed for was being cancelled. What a joke! A company that pretends to "value" its employees can't even tell a current employee that a position they interviewed for was no longer being filled by a real person! If you are a good sales person I highly recommend you NOT consider PQ. They will suck the life out of you and ruin your spirit with their unrealistic goals, lack of commission and terrible senior management. If you are a yes man and like being treated poorly then give it a shot. Don't believe the Forbes voted us in the top 100 or whatever they claim, I am sure that was paid for as everyone on the Sales Teams were miserable.
