Pros

Opportunities to advance if you look for them

Cons

Sometimes good people can get overlooked or the pace at which advancements are possible can be too slow - as a result good people may go. Senior people are often approached by non-competitors for fantastic positions... which isn't a con per se it just results in some brain-drain.

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
