Programmers Investment Corp Employee Reviews for Assistant Manager

"Like many others, I feel I have outgrown the company."

What do you like about working at Programmers Investment Corp?

"I enjoy being around many of my coworkers. The job isn't one you take home, the president is very approachable, is a good leader and makes himself accessible to everyone. Department provides good amount of flexibility and a relaxed atmosphere so long as production and quality remain high. This works well for everyone - company and employee."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"If you are looking for growth potential look elsewhere. If you are in a pinch for a job until you find something else, PIC can be a comfortable pit stop, but be careful - it can all of a sudden be five years later!"

What don't you like about working at Programmers Investment Corp?

"Each year the number of employees gets smaller. Many in the company are working with a pay cut that was supposed to last just six months but is going on two years. Everyone is always nervous about being laid off due to loss of large, long time clients. PIC holds onto an old-fashioned, white, suburban mentality that is dying in the business world. Growth within the company is very limited. Health benefits are too expensive for many to keep with recent change."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"I suggest the company hire programmers that are using more current languages in order to get in touch with the modern business world. Senior Management should visit growing downtown companies and take notes on modern workplaces, environments and employee handling and implement what they learn at PIC. I suggest that the company utilize a lower level employee to handle light janitorial work when needed daily rather than utilizing one of the largest company salaries to do so. PIC really needs more diversity in upper management positions."
