Pros

- Well laid out expectations for what'll make one a successful employee. - Friendly colleagues.

Cons

- Really a place to go and work if you want to use non of your creative or imagination skills. - Performance is 90% based on how many hours you work. - Nature of projects are dull and not challenging. - There is no real 'solution' this department provides. It's just agreeing to what the Executive Compensation clients demand so they don't go to a competitor. - The job doesn't contribute to creating new thought or improving things in the field. It's essentially social and economic redundancy. Unfortunately that is the nature of compensation consulting in general. If you have a sense of imagination, don't work here.

Pros

Remote flexibility, which is nice.

Cons

You will not get a raise and if you do, it'll be 1%. Managers will not help you with escalating issues, you're on your own. It'll be blamed on you. You'll work so much overtime you won't have a social life.
