Pros

You get tons of exposure to C-level contacts at large companies. You also get lots of experience in cross-functional collaboration because the production of every work product involves the input of the entire company, including company execs. Company culture is also improving thanks to the hire of the current VP of HR.

Cons

The pay is atrocious and way below market. The CEO and President are notorious micromanagers who insist on forcing the team to attend pointless "training" meetings in which the same stale sales pitches are rehashed over and over. The company consistently misses sales targets every month due to unreasonable goals and chronically understaffed teams. But the level of stress you will take on as an employee will depend heavily on the department you are hired into (i.e., the Practice Groups and Business Analytics). There is also not much room for professional growth, as every director and executive at the company is a lifer, none of whom will be retiring anytime soon.

Pros

Those who want to take it upon themselves to grow and educate themselves, have that opporuntity here. Culture is fun in and out of office. Can be a director in three years if you do what your told and don't ask questions or question unethical decisions.

Cons

Where to start. Horrendous pay. Directors in place that have been with the company less than 3-4 years. Pitching huge companies to change to cheaper pens to save money. Everyone that has value leaves within a year. Long termers are PRP lifer's with no other company experience. Company will do anything to save a buck to bill on it. No true knowledge in certain areas- menatility is just throw out bids and achieve the lowest cost then bill client on it while not taking service quiality into consideration. Turnover is outrageous. Anyone can be replaced. True knowledge sits with about ten percent of the staff.

Thank you for the time you took to write this review and I wish you much success in your future endeavors. Your right about the PRP culture! We have worked hard during our incredible growth to create a winning culture where individuals can thrive, contribute and develop within the organization. We are proud of our training program where we offer over 500 hours of training per year to develop our greatest assets, our employees and have outlined a career path for every employee to develop, including developing into a leadership role. As we grow I am extremely proud that we do look within, to promote our next generation of leaders, and we continue to look at our overall compensation plan including now matching our employees 401K contributions. As for our company approach to prospective clients, pens savings represents .0001% of our overall client savings. PRP has 54 expenses areas led by seasoned practice group leadership who are experts in these areas and in our 21 years we have saved our clients over 4.4B in accumulated savings. Since PRP is engaged with our clients for 2 years +, maintaining service level and increasing them has to be priority number one. Thank you for your feedback, Don
