Pros

Benefits are pretty good, but the company recently decreased the matching compensation for retirement. When completing benefit options, the company intentionally defaults to the more expensive options for an employee, i.e. the employee smokes, thus increasing their health care costs.

Cons

Stagnant business model with too many consultants running the show. The compensation for different divisions creates competition and does not foster a collaborative business. Senior management is unethical and HR is just a function in name. Stay away from this place at all costs.

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

Pros

They offer resources for learning.

Cons

In my previous roles I've never felt burnout but with this one is the first I was feeling crush. I don't think managers take time to structure the tasks on a 8hrs or 10hrs per day. There are a lot of unrealistic expectations, no work-life balance at all. Even if you made the sacrifice to stay late, you will not be done with the work for the day.
