Pros

Better than not having a job

Cons

Company has had a very checkered past that has been particularly harsh to employees. There is a divide between the those that "Survived the Dark Days" and new employees. There's a lot of emphasis on new culture and new ways of doing things, but my experience showed that past a thin veneer, nothing has really changed. The organization is stuck with promoting marginal employees to management because it is unable to attract new talent. The reputation of being a bad place to work is a fairly earned reputation. First day on the job as my supervisor was taking me around for intros and he would stop and speak poorly of each person pre/post speaking to them. Cover your backside frequently as you will need it for the daily operations meetings where managers drive their passive aggressive agendas on the backs of the staff.

Pros

There are some really good people here that really do care about the future of this company and want to see positive change. People are loyal but PMC is not loyal in return. The on-site clinic is a nice amenity but the benefits are not all that great.

Cons

For a company that has been running for over 80 years, structure is lacking tremendously. Onboarding and connectedness throughout the business units further divides coworkers and slows down any real change. With such high turnover, and lack of response or initiative to make the work environment better, this is a very difficult place to work. I agree with a review below. Nepotism is strong here. Being in the inner circle is the only way to move up here. There are stark differences in how people are treated despite proven loyalty. That creates a lot of frustration. Change is constantly talked about here, but this is followed by false promises and stubborn ideals. The marketing department specifically is treated like outcasts. Very few in the company see value in marketing and most do not wish to collaborate. This makes getting anything done almost impossible. I’ve heard crazy stories about layoffs and how people are treated in the shop in regards to promotions and value. It’s unacceptable and hard for me to morally be associated with the values PMC holds.

Going downhill fast

Pros

Open book management lets you know how the company is performing.

Cons

Executive leadership is ruining the company. There was a big shakeup about two years ago and the place has gone downhill since. Read reviews in the last two years. You will see a trend. Avoid this place. It has no soul and will burn you out.
