Pros
The opportunity to try something that they hadn't tried before. And bring a community of people into what you wanted to try.
Cons
Many managers had been promoted rapidly to keep up with organization growth. Some lacked previous management experience, making it rough on both the managers and the people they managed.
Advice to Management
Continue pressing for management education.

Pros
Well intentioned, committed people across the entire organization. Culture was vibrant and engaging. Hard working and service oriented. Acquired by much larger, for profit company, which was right business decision but killer for the culture.
Cons
Acquisition was rough. Integration planning lacked any real, tangible commitment from the acquiring organization. Turnover resulted and some of the best of PECI passed away. Ratings below reflect assessment of PECI, not acquiring company.
Advice to Management
Retain the former PECI'ers if you can - they bring a solid experience and deep commitment to a sustainable organization and an energy efficient world.

Pros
Interesting, valuable work. Smaller company feel. Good salary and benefits. Collegial, do-good culture. Nice office with great view and excellent location in downtown Portland.
Cons
Company struggled with changing industry and increased competition. Financial troubles led to layoffs. Management decided to move forward with an acquisition by CLEAResult.

Pros
I loved working for PECI! The culture of the company was outstanding and the people who worked there truly believed in the mission of the organization. The perks were great and benefits were comprehensive. I felt like management heard my future growth goals and helped me to achieve them.
Cons
I was sad to hear that PECI was purchased and is no longer a nonprofit. I'm sure the culture has changed significantly since I worked there in 2011.
