Pros

Variety of projects, variety of personalities, majority of people are very intelligent. Top notch consultants.

Cons

Can easily work 80-90 hours a week. Billable hours, revenue brought in, revenue managed -- all goals keep going up. Lots of egos. Old school management.

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
