Pros

- Opportunities to advance your career if you advocate for yourself - Great team to work with on day-to-day projects - Some work life flexibility with the ability to work remotely, if desired - Ability to interact with clients daily if you’re in a consulting role & travel as needed (but not a lot)

Cons

- There’s been a lot of turnover lately for certain groups so the culture has taken a hit. It would be nice for the company to really invest back in the culture and work environment to retain their employees and reduce the stress for people who have take on more work to fill in the gap. - Work life balance sometimes doesn’t exist. - It can be quite political at times - especially with regard to promotions and career progression. - Onboarding and training could be a lot better - some are thrown into the fire until they learn how to succeed.

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
