Pros

high salary potential due to sales commissions; there are a number of wonderful people at the company

Cons

company doesn't care about small business consultants as much as they do other roles... they pile an unrealistic amount of tasks on SBCs while offering too little internal support and expect SBCs to perfectly fulfill all duties of the role. I regularly worked 80+ hour weeks just to keep up and, while I made a lot of money for just graduating college, I found it was not worth the toll it was taking on my physical and mental health

Pros

Strong work-life balance, supportive leadership, and a collaborative culture that feels more people-focused than many large corporations. Hybrid flexibility, solid benefits, and long-term stability make it a great place to build a career. There are also good opportunities for internal growth and cross-functional experience.

Cons

Decision-making can sometimes move slowly due to layers of process and approvals. Compensation may not always be as competitive as larger tech-focused companies, and organizational changes or transformation initiatives can occasionally create ambiguity or shifting priorities. Like many large enterprises, bureaucracy can at times impact speed and innovation.
