Pros

Exposure to many different clients accross many industries. Those early in their career learn technical skills that other companies and business schools are looking for.

Cons

Career development is not a priority. No much by the way of developmental opportunities. Pay is greatly differentiated. Work life balance is poor.

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
