Pros

It's a job, they offer some benefits but not the best especially for a consulting firm focusing in employer benefits.

Cons

Typical toxic corporate company. Everyone is underpaid, overworked and anywhere you turn you'll find the toxic fear mongering leader who's leadership style is to put others down to make themselves live good. These people somehow always seem to skate by undetected with the C suite even though everyone beneath or across them cannot stand it. This year we received a 2% pay increase despite having a record profit year with no increases in 2021. That is not even enough to cover the increased cost of living. What a slap in the face to their hardworking employees.

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
