Pros

Work life balance compared to other consulting firms. Most colleagues are pleasant to work with. It really depends on your immediate supervisor and whether your experience will be bad, ok, or great.

Cons

Constant double talk, lace of innovation, mid level managers need better training on what it takes to be best in class supervisor. Good pay increases are always hard to get. Continually loosing talent to better opportunities vs making this place the best opportunity for its 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
