The PG Difference

PG is a Minority and Veteran Owned Workforce Solutions company. Our culture and our brand are built around our people-first mentality. We place an emphasis on building relationships and getting to know our PG community and business before we train employees on their day-to-day jobs. Our goal is simple, to help our employees build a network of lasting relationships based on trust and respect for each other.

This allows us to foster an environment that supports employees’ choices to balance what’s most important to them. Our hybrid environment provides employees opportunities to connect, develop, and succeed, while still giving them autonomy and flexibility to work remotely or from a local office based on their needs.

We believe that everyone’s voice matters regardless of their role or tenure. Within PG, employees have access to leadership of all levels and the opportunity to give and receive feedback to influence change in both formal and informal ways. We also like to have quite a bit of fun along the way!
