At PG, Things Are a Little Different

And we like it that way!

At PG we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to succeed. This belief drives our culture, everything we do, and everyone we hire.  When you join PG, you don't just get a paycheck (that's awesome too!) You join a team of like-minded people who are all passionate about climbing higher and enjoying the view along the way.

 

What We Do

pg_green_cycle-1We help companies to better manage their non-permanent workforce.

What does that mean? When our clients want to hire temporary workers or independent contractors for a special project or a busy season, we help them do that the right way. We do the on-boarding and off-boarding, the administration of benefits, like insurance and 401Ks, and we make sure the workers are all paid fairly. We also make sure the tax compliance stuff is on point. We’re lucky enough to have some amazing clients too!

Why We Do It

pg_green_heart_health-1We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to succeed.

Populus Group was founded on this principle. The President of PG grew up in a big family with parents who immigrated to America without much. While this is not an uncommon story, but the culture that it inspired is. The belief that we all deserve the chance to create our own success at a place we enjoy working at is the heart of our culture. It drives how we help our customers, their workforce and of course, our own employees. Populus Group is also a certified Minority Owned Business and Veteran Owned Business.

PG Perks

pg_magenta__upward_steps-1

Development
We invest generously in the development and
growth of our employees, and emphasize life-long
learning. From conferences, trainings, seminars,
classes, etc., we want to see you grow!

pg_icons_cmyk_blue_couch-1Environment
Office vibes are pretty important to us. We think
this about more than our lounge spaces, cornhole
and foosball games and open areas. It's really
about creating an open and trusting culture. That’s
something we cultivate. From team lunches and
outings, to games and puzzles, we make sure to
have some fun along to the way too!


pg_green_paper_plane-2-1Professional Opportunities
Because of our unique culture, size and pace of
growth, individuals joining PG get years of
experience at an accelerated pace.

pg_magenta__piggy_bank-1Treat Yourself Account
Employees get $1K to spend on whatever they
want every year! (Think: mani/pedis, flights to Bora
Bora, concert tickets, massages, you name it.)

pg_icons_cmyk_blue_environment-1Community Events
We’re kind of obsessed with giving back in our
communities, and we’re dedicated to leaving
things better than we found them. Volunteering
and supporting our communities is something
we’re committed to, specifically for children on the
other side of the opportunity divide and veterans.
