Pros

Benefits are decent, but going downhill. They are slowly taking them away. No more pensions, etc. Many people are able to work from home.

Cons

Layoffs like clockwork every year--outsourcing everything to India. They are getting rid of lifelong employees and replacing them with contractors; there is no employee loyalty.

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
