Pros

I had the honor of working with some of the best people with whom I have ever worked. The group was very close and anyone would help anyone else who needed it at any time.

Cons

The company was full of little fiefdoms that did not co-operate nor communicate well together. Management was constantly restricting the amount of information to which we had access which made our job of maintaining client's websites more difficult than it needed to be. Little to know opportunity for advancement. I was employed there for 10 years and received only one pay increase. Had to work more than 360 hours one October to insure all client websites were ready for OE. Normally we had four clients for OE but after layoffs, those remaining in my group had eight clients for OE; four clients was a heavy load. Management seemed to be putting their money into new versions of websites, there were six when I left, rather than providing training on these versions.

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
