Pros

Best for recent college grads who want consulting experience but still value work-life balance. You don't have to work the long hours like you do for other consulting firms. The people are really nice and they are very lenient about time off!

Cons

The work itself is not very interesting. I found myself on Tuesdays already wishing it was Friday. If you are looking for an exciting career, this is not the place to work.

Pros

-Trustworthy immediate colleagues -Good work/life balance and flexibility

Cons

-Little career pathing within company. Organization is extremely siloed, and cheap as they simply aren't interested in paying for small things to advance one's career like local industry conferences and events such as team holiday dinners that would have minimal impact on the company's bottom line. -Pay not aligned with skills or talent marketplace -One would think a benefits/career consultant would have decent pay and benefits. This is not the case
