Pros

I enjoy what I actually do as my job and feel appreciated by the client I'm supporting. I have also made a lot of connections with really good people while I've been with Pontoon.

Cons

Training for new hires at least on my team is minimal. People are leaving but the positions are not getting backfilled, so many people on my team are over worked. Also if you're looking to move up to a director or VP position here, don't if you want to keep your job. I can't even count on two hands the amount of positions that have been "eliminated", which is really just used as an excuse to get good people out the door. If you aren't connected with the correct key people, you're out of luck and on the chopping block. Even people who have been with the company for over a decade aren't safe. It seems like everything is done not thinking about the people, but just to hit a certain budget and make the books look good. They don't care who gets hurt along the way.

Pros

-Flexible -Hour Lunches -Paid Holidays (for colleagues) -Parking is free

Cons

There is no career advancement no matter how hard you work. "We offer classes at our call enters" is a joke. These classes do not help you move forward in your career and either does hard work. Its all about who you know. While working their I seen several people get promoted with NO experience based of being a managers friend or favorite. Pontoon under pays all employees. If you take an issue to your manager or HR you are "black listed". I would highly suggest to someone looking for a job to look elsewhere unless you are alright being treated like crap, being paid low, and never having a chance to advance in your career. "Apply for a position we consider all applicants" is a joke. Positions are filled before posted and half the time when you do apply for something you are never contacted about the position.

Pros

Ability to do new things not previously qualified to do. Good community philanthropy opportunities. Ability to give back to charities.

Cons

I caught several Management team members at different levels in lies. I was reprimanded for telling a client the truth. Leadership doesn't take council of workforce. Over promises and under delivers to clients consistently. Sells services business doesn't have the architecture to support. Directors mislead and make promises they don't make good on. Middle level leadership execution detached from executive leadership.
