Pros

Not many. The benefits came mostly from relying on what the Client offered on campus.

Cons

This was absolutely the worst professional experience I have encountered. The interview process itself took nearly 3 months-no reason given. From the get go, it was evident that my coworkers were not happy. There was no formal training, this is a sink or swim philosophy. When I addressed finding redundancy in tasks that slow down efficiency, I was told to do it anyways. Top down management with little respect to the team made the turnover high (10 people left within a year). The client itself was difficult, setting unrealistic timeframes and demands, But there was no advocacy to support the group. I went home on a regular basis feeling stress and anxiety. I quickly learned this was a toxic work culture and made the right choice to leave.

Pros

The company has a great mentor program. You will meet colleagues who do amazing things like write books, receive leadership awards, and write checks to nonprofits that really need the help.

Cons

I really have no complaints. I am still in contact with many of my colleagues there.
