Pros

You can do what you want as long as you make money, and as long as you can feed at least five other people.

Cons

The most unethical place I've ever worked. It started at the top and ran throughout the organization. Charging clients for work by junior employees whose rates were sky high is no way to run a business.

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
