Pros

- Work from home - Decent benefits

Cons

- No idea/focus of employee engagement - High turnover - Low partnership with company vendor - There is no focus on employee growth or a sense of team spirit. More so a feeling of seclusion and work horse mentality - VERY long work hours is expected even if you are on vacation. Basically, you have to "get it done" at all costs - Immediate leadership isn't very supportive and software to support clients lacks as well as the system partner (vendor) - Very politically driven with leaders that talk at employees opposed to really identifying with them and their challenges - Processes are either lacking or ever changing during mid stream with client projects (huge risks) - Large company with a small leadership mentality. Based on the global reach of this company you would think they were more developed from an employee sustainability/talent growth and crisis management - Little appreciation from leadership with employee life events which is due to unrealistic work loads that require constant 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
