Pros

Decent benefits, 10k for education, discounted back-up child care, nice additional fringe benefits.

Cons

Little to no career progression for admins. 1-3% raises, no bonus for admins. They give life to the phrase "quiet promotion". If you are actively asking/seeking a promotion and you don't get it in 2-3yrs, then take the experience, take the name for your resume and move on! Because if you allow it, they will string you along with "you don't always need a promotion, you can gain new experiences and develop in your role" mantra for an indefinite amount of time, meanwhile your basically just doing extra work with the same title and and same pay - with the hope/luck of getting promoted. Overall, the depravity is systematic for admins, but I'd say especially avoid People Experience (PX).

Pros

A good amount of remote monitoring, which depending on how you view can be a positive.

Cons

Changing systems and inconsistent standards are applied to people. There are many differing models that often muddy how you are supposed to do your job, especially when other staff members don't quite understand. How do you interface with the changing models? There tends to be a lot of blame and foisting of responsibilities. Sometimes you can become overburdened with a lot of work, where people do not respect your time and think that their tasks should take priority. It is possible to be contacted late at night with work to do and then be criticized the next day for not being able to keep up.
