Pros

PRH was a great place to work. The Work/Life balance is really nice and the people are great. I felt as though the company cares about it's employees, for the most part. Benefits are wonderful, better than other, similar companies.

Cons

Unfortunately POC/minority employees tend to be paid less and there doesn't seem to be any effort to fix this. The only way to get any significant raise is to threaten to leave, and even then, this isn't guaranteed. Please take care of your current employees!

Pros

7-3 straight with overtime consistent pay -while the work is repetitive even for factory work they don't push you for nothing and almost everyone pitches in and gets the work done when and where it's needed. There is usually ample overtime though from time to time it's slow able to help with disabilities -I came in with an undiagnosed disability that I didn't realize would impair my ability in my chosen position until I got there, they were incredibly kind and allowed me a few more changed in positions until I was able to find one that fit.

Cons

inability to hold others accountable -occasionally people become comfortable in a role and refuse to change or if it benefits them will make the work harder/slower than it needs to be, management does little other than say an announcement and then shrug its shoulders.
