Pros

Good stepping stone for future endeavors.

Cons

Terrible leadership often resulting in discriminatory workplace practices going unnoticed or pushed under the rug even when brought to the attention of HR. You can excel here if you look like everyone else, but as a minority it can be very uncomfortable experiencing racial bias and witnessing favoritism on a daily basis. Unrealistic deadlines, micromanagement and very old technology. The work life balance is horrible with work from home opportunities only being awarded to those who are part of the club. It’s no surprise that the turnover rate is very high at this company and the billing department in particular. Should you bring to light the fact that your growing workload was often times double and triple what other employees were responsible for each day, management then begins to devise creative ways to terminate you or have you quit.

Pros

You can learn plenty about the 401K world, for free. You get most holidays off and good PTO, management is flexible with the schedule.

Cons

Biggest challenge working here is the technology- it’s severely outdated or needs to be fixed. The company acts large but they don’t have the infrastructure to support the plans they currently have and keep acquiring - not just for work but for all aspects, internal and external (client facing) sites are down at least once a week, reporting is flawed yet they hold people accountable to it, email software they use is not user friendly - makes doing the job I’m paid to do difficult. To many initiatives are started to gain more business from existing clients but the technology isn’t there to support these admins. Management is incompetent. If you aren’t in the right “group” of people you will not advance.

Pros

The benefits and my co-workers.

Cons

Awful work environment. Unrealistic deadlines/expectations. Plan on working 50-60 hours a week, weekends and holidays and being criticized and yelled at regularly. Completely unorganized. Management unable to foresee and plan for common events in administration and you will bear the burden for this mismanagement. Also probably the worst communication skills from management I have ever experienced. Wouldn't wish this place on my worst enemy.
