      Pros

      Associates have high integrity and are committed to doing the right thing for the customer. Ability to work cross-functionally on solving problems. Lots of associates who are highly knowledgeable about the industry.

      Cons

      Excessive focus on prioritizing things on lists so that leadership feels they are being addressed, only to be told that there are no resources and the work never gets done. Leadership ability at the director level varies widely. Senior management can sometimes micromanage which is demoralizing if you are a competent professional prepared to come to the table with recommendations and actions. Can be too hierarchical and patriarchical - not a lot of innovation and very conservative.

      Pros

      Flexible working hours. The benefits are good.

      Cons

      IT management does not understand the concept of 'coaching' their associates Many projects in IT require shared resources yet timing is for support of these projects seems like it is secondary. This causes extra hours that are often above and beyond sensible. Even if you think you are doing a good job, watch out because it doesn't take much to get you targeted.
