Pros

Nice building and some nice people

Cons

Slow moving, highly bureaucratic, won't make any changes until something goes wrong, care only about their shareholders and actively try to rip off their members. Depressing weird vibe. No flexibility with work - considered "not working" if WFH. Management don't walk the talk.

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
