Pros

The people are great fun and very outgoing. You will get client contact relatively early on. Support for time off when needed and flexible working.

Cons

The atmosphere is a bit grim at the moment. Declining revenue from DB clients, and no realistic alternative revenue streams suggested. Difficult to see where revenue will come in from DC clients. This is reflected in endless initiatives and communications from senior management, centred around process efficiency and cutting costs.

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
