Pros

You have the opportunity to work on multiple projects with allows you to gain a lot of experience and exposure in a short period of time. The team was very supportive and had a great culture.

Cons

Mostly focused on compensation, pay, rewards, etc. which is not a Con but this particular subset of HC consulting is their bread and butter. Just something to be aware of.

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
