Pros

Opportunity for growth if you are a hard worker and professional. If you look and dress nice and are outgoing you will go far.

Cons

Not very good health insurance. Management doesn't take criticism well. Must have a postive attitude or you wont go far.

Pros

Relaxed environment, decent pay, friendly coworkers, good location, very comfortable working conditions

Cons

Minimal increase in pay. Limited opportunity for growth, seems like a 2nd tier organization, they are a little behind on all trends or larger companies in the same industry

Pros

Despite my concerns, my company (that was acquired) has, for the most part, been left alone so I still have the enjoyment of my co-workers, same office location and same small company feel. Most of my higher ratings are due to the Execs that I still work with on a daily basis.

Cons

As a publicly traded company there is little generousity. There are no extras and very little is done in the way of wellness. Sure there is a wellness program but as a company that consults on wellness it would be nice if we more cutting edge. I feel all the extreme benefits consulting practices are used here....premium contributions tied to salary, premiums for the high deductible HSA qualified plan are higher than the norm, employer HSA contributions are divided among each pay period (nothing generous about that) and 401k contribution matches aren't allocated until you've spent the entire year there. To me this is keeping score but I guess no surprises as a publicly traded international firm. As for the companies professional resources and services, it's disjointed. There's very little organic growth here so chances are the service you may need to lean on for client support was an acquired company working as it's own profit center. This can lead to less flexibility and it often feels clunky. They also may not be sympathetic to what your needs are because hey, they have their own objectives that have nothing to do with helping you support your client or revenue. Overall there just feels like a lack of being under one roof, so to speak. I'm sure this is typical of a large international organization that grows mainly by acquisition though.
