Pros

The people are dedicated and talented they want to add value to the business and do right by our customers. CEO is inspiring

Cons

Leadership is lacking and seem to be paralyzed. We hear Julio say good stuff but it does not seem to be carried through outside the quarterly meetings. We advise clients on how to best manage their talent, and yet we don't seem to follow that advice ourselves. Technology (especially supporting the back office) is outdated.

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
