Pros

Lots of PTO and paid Holiday!

Cons

No raise for almost 5 years. They pay way below market for comparable positions. High cost health care from paycheck. All day meetings,in and out like they are really doing something for their employees. They only care about their clients.Trained by people who can't even communicate and very unprofessional. Bunch of meaningless assignments.

Pros

You are employed and pay arrives on time

Cons

One of the worst places to work in Massachusetts. Constant threat of of layoffs, senior management cares only about their bonuses, every year is a "tough" one when it comes to funding bonuses/comp for everyone below Managing Director level, annual merit raises don't exist for most so you are actually losing money by continuing to work there, expectations vs. compensation is ridiculous, and some of the worst management / "leadership" you will experience in your career, Clients do not matter anymore and employees are treated like cattle and SS is offshoring jobs at a ridiculous rate over the last 10 years which makes client service worse. This is an awful place to work, avoid at all costs.
