Pros

Excellent individual consultants and great resources for clients

Cons

Terrible middle management across the company. Too many inexperienced managers (often former actuaries) running the company who lack people skills, formal management training, and basic empathy.

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
