Pros

Defined benefit pension plan which is increasingly rare Some extended Benefits My managers were knowledgeable, reasonable, and supportive Fair pay for administrators according to one I spoke with. Some opportunities for movement within the company

Cons

No time for vacations in some departments as slow to hire My department was unwilling to help grow careers but thought keeping people in the existing role was to the department's advantage.

Pros

-Trustworthy immediate colleagues -Good work/life balance and flexibility

Cons

-Little career pathing within company. Organization is extremely siloed, and cheap as they simply aren't interested in paying for small things to advance one's career like local industry conferences and events such as team holiday dinners that would have minimal impact on the company's bottom line. -Pay not aligned with skills or talent marketplace -One would think a benefits/career consultant would have decent pay and benefits. This is not the case
