Pros

Good opportunities if you are willing to take on the responsibility. Good people to work with in a professional work environment. Lots of good clients that you will collaborate with on important projects.

Cons

You need to understand that relationships are a critical factor in your success. Some managers are not that experienced or interested in people management; there tends to be more recognition for billable work than people managment

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
