Pros

Extreme amount of vacation and sick time; on-site fitness center

Cons

In many departments, individuals are not promoted based on performance - individuals are promoted based on friendships and other relationships. PUC is full of politics, smiling faces and back-stabbing. Senior Management fills positions with those that they feel will "do their bidding." Morals and values are said to be a high priority, however they are not. Very bad treatment of staff occurs and no one is ever held accountable. Vacation and sick time do not compensate for what you may have to deal with at PUC.
