Pros

It may be an acceptable place to work. However, if you fall off the list, hit a certain age, or need to use short-term disability or FMLA, it's a completely different experience. Only good thing is the 401(k) -- you can't beat a 4% dollar-for-dollar match PLUS 10% of your salary. But, just as the partnership plan and health benefits have declined, so too will retirement contributions. Count on it.

Cons

Low salary. Ridiculous changing-with-the-wind work-from-home policies that differ between divisions, even within your own team. Basically, everything but the 401(k). See Pros.

Pros

Awesome coworkers for young professionals. Paid licensing for a few months.

Cons

Micromanagement is out of control. Incompetent team leaders who are obsessed with power and metrics. Back to back calls, limited support, and nearly impossible effective communication between departments. Zero time to cultivate culture because you are taking calls every second of the day except for 30min/1hr lunch and two 15 minute breaks. You’re locked into your role for over a year (apprenticeship for around 60 days, then a year after promotion to associate) and your team leaders will not approve internal applications unless you are “eligible”.
