Pros

Good opportunities to get involved right away. Often times an Analyst can work directly with a Principal on a project team. In this setup, an individual can learn a lot right away.

Cons

An analyst should expect to work long hours. There is a general feeling that senior management does not respect an analyst's time. The annual review process is not very transparent, and many junior level staff are ultimately left confused about their rating. High performers are not awarded given their contribution, causing many to leave for better opportunities elsewhere.

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
