Pros

It taught me the basics of consulting-client service and project management.

Cons

Performance assessments were conducted by managers and criteria was unclear for moving to the next level. It functioned as an organization of silos. Very few options for training and/or learning and (if available) were limited to online. Huge variance on management styles. The manager for the project really determine how efficiently and transparently work was done.

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
