Pros

I thought the salary was good for my experience of 1 year in business systems consulting. New Innovation Hub would've been nice to work more from, but I was constantly traveling away from the town I lived in for a project.

Cons

Upon being hired, I was told I would be working locally on a project and that many opportunities would exist for projects in the area. For the 1st month of employment I received almost no info from management about what I was supposed to be doing, the position was remote but I was on payroll. Once the project started I ended up having to fly to a distant city every other week to meet with the client. The project fell behind and I was extremely stressed and overworked. I also had to take over an entire module of the system when my SME left for another module, even though I did not have the experience to be a Lead BA. When the project ended I was on the bench for 5 months because all of the projects required relocation, which I told the manager upon being hired that I would not be willing to relocate. Even though I scored very high in my annual review, eventually I was released since I was not willing to relocate.
