Pros

Co-workers and almost other employees were incredibly nice and the atmosphere was almost fun for the first few years I worked there. Decent pay and the typical benefits were offered (nothing horrible, nothing great).

Cons

There was a leadership change and they became much more concerned with the bottom line than anything else. Work/Life balance became almost non-existent in my department and working nights and weekends becoming the norm. Moved quite a few roles oversees and many excellent employees were laid off. It's still a very influx organization and I don't think the changes they are making will be beneficial.

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
