Pros
The building and office space is great, the campus offers many amenities, access to public transportation and many lunch places in walking distance. There are plenty of open areas outdoors to take a quick break. It makes a positive difference to like the space that you are working in and that is certainly given at PCT in El Segundo. The company seems to have plans to move its offices which they announced it in a company wide email.
Cons
With the departure of the CEO, Jerre Fuqua, who was an excellent leader, the vibe of the company immediately changed negatively. The corporate office put in place a part time CEO to oversee this company together with a sister company that is of a completely different nature. While change is not always bad, the new leadership lacked the capacity to listen and win over key personnel that had built the company for about 10 years. The part time status based on the necessity to run two companies does not encourage listening skills of course, as there is never enough time in the schedule to actually listen. Normally one would expect that in cases like this the existing team would be strengthened through expressing confidence in their abilities, perhaps mid level people given more responsibility, but this was not the case. Accomplishments achieved over the past few years were belittled instead, people from the sister company were brought in and promoted ahead of those that actually had built the company. As result a rapid exodus of pretty much all Senior Management happened. Knowledge transfer was minimal. The remaining team is more or less depressed when before this company excelled due to its excellent team spirit, which was evident in guest satisfaction and product offerings.
