Pros

You will work with some very nice people on the Finance team in NYC for the most part. Good 401K and vacation days.

Cons

Management team is dreadful. They only care about themselves. If you have any problems about anything, don't bother communicating them to management. They will not listen. They will just get rid of you. Very little to no diversity on the Finance team in New York. You are not allowed to work from home if you are on the Corporate Finance team. You will not be able to focus on your work because the Marketing team sits next to the Finance team on the same floor, and they make so much noise you will go crazy. Don't bother complaining. They expect you to take it. No opportunities for advancement. They may say there are opportunities for advancement, but that's not what I saw when I was there.

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
