Pros

Some very talented people work at the firm, but it's highly line of business dependent. Benefits are pretty good, particularly vacation.

Cons

Terrible treatment of lower level staff. You would think the #Metoo movement was a wake up call for HR to stop smothering complaints about leadership, but I can say that isn't the case with this company.

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
