Pros

Flexible/part time working readily available, depth and breadth of resources, great colleagues and collegiate atmosphere, lots of autonomy coupled with great support.

Cons

Can be under-resourced at junior and admin level; in common with most big firms, multiple layers of hierarchy and cumbersome bureaucracy.

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
