Pros

Wide scope and variety of interesting work. Promotion based more on work quality less so on politics. Long leash and flexibility as long as you perform. Great self-learning resources.

Cons

Heavy workload, like most consulting firms. Underpaid. Shoestring budget. Old school lifers who protect each others and resist change.

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
