It's Pretty Good... 'for the area'

Pros

-People say hello in the hallways -Onsite gym and shower facilities that you can use during your breaks or before and after work -Nice, quiet campus with trees and grass -Solid IT infrastructure and

Cons

-If you are not the 'popular kid' you will hit your earnings and opportunities ceiling pretty quickly. -Very little opportunity for cross department work. Everyone protects their own silo'd areas. -Management will turn down advice and ideas from well-seasoned employees in favor of ideas and opinions from outside consultants. Consultants are practically seen as living gods and their word is unquestioned. -Management rationalizes that their low wages are 'good for the area' and then gives presentations on how they want to follow in Apple and Google's footsteps for industry shake-ups. -All of the department heads and managers have been around for 30 years since the company started and everyone is trying their best to one up the other. They aren't letting go of their jobs any time soon and they will make sure you won't be able to endanger their positions. -The new call center feels like some kind of military prison camp. Everyone is in low walled cubes and talking to any another employee is not permitted during your shift. The silence is deafening and depressing.

A Great Place To Work!

Pros

Fun place to work. Management is great at all levels and very personable. Pay is pretty good considering the lack of opportunities in the area. Everyone is helpful and happy which I think is due to a great company culture. Work-Life balance is excellent. I look forward to going to work every day! The company itself is also constantly growing, having 19 years of consistent growth.

Cons

E-commerce can be a slow paced field at times compared to other areas in the CS industry. Selling industrial products isn't exactly fun or flashy, but the products the company makes are the best on the market so that helps. Small team has me concerned about opportunities for advancement within the company.

Pros

I have worked for Fortune 500 companies (Newell Rubbermaid/Graco), and brand leaders like FAO Schwarz and Ralph Lauren during a 30+ year career. All interesting and rewarding experiences. But I can say without hesitation that New Pig has been the most positive work environment I have ever encountered. Much of the reason is due to the very high value Pig places on learning and their willingness to try new things through experimentation, learn along the way, and make adjustments. But, while it may sound cliche to some, its the people that make this place a joy to work at every day. Though I've worked in major metro areas (NYC, Philadelphia), I have never worked with sharper, more creative, or more dedicated people anywhere. Oh yeah... and FUN ! Very Fun.

Cons

Tipton Pa is a small town in Central Pa. Sometimes qualified job candidates will pass us by thinking we might be too far off the beaten track to give a good look to. It's a real shame because they're missing out on what could be the most rewarding job experience of their lives. However, when candidates do come to visit us, they are usually astonished at the level of savvy, sophistication, and innovation they encounter here. I live in nearby State College PA, which is a truly awesome place to live near one of the biggest universities in the country. So, maybe this is less of a "con" and more of misconception.
