Pros

They sell it really well during the interview process to lead you to believe they are a progressive company that believes and supports employee growth, unfortunately reality will tell you otherwise.

Cons

It is a sad cyclical place to be at where unfortunately the power dynamics benefits those that suck up to keep their jobs. Immature and inexperienced leadership leads the way and if you voice your input it will be ignored and you might even be slandered for it. Really toxic and hostile environment, they do not preach or put into practice what they consult on.

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
