Reviews about "work life balance"

Pros
- you can work flexible hours as long as you set the expectations from day 1. - good pay - smart people to work with - high focus on career planning
Cons
- very easy to get sucked in to the long hours and have no work/life balance. But you can try to stay out of it as long as you work smart and efficiently. - some directors/ managers are on a power trip. Very important to manage them diplomatically.

Pros
The benefits package was good and all information can be accessed online. The pay was good for a high school education.
Cons
Bad work/life balance when you get phone calls on your infrequent off days from accounts and subordinates. You are often asked, if not told to work on your days off. You are not put in any position to succeed with the overwhelming demands placed by management and account's ever increasing service expectations. The pace was so frantic that there was no time to break , for lunch even (I ate mine while driving every day), unless you like to be out 11-12 hours a day. Workload increased every year as the compensation went down.
