Pros

Great Benefits, except amount of PPL is lower than most companies. Friendly and positive staff. Casual attire is okay when not meeting with clients. Great professional development training courses. Great hardware and software provided to all employees. Lots of opportunities for improving your technology skills. They use state of the art business software, such as Lync for videoconferencing.

Cons

Business development realigns frequently due to changes in the market. There is poor communication from the top when the organization realigns. This also means you have to be okay with your team and sometimes your manager constantly changing. Some managers do things last minute, which causes staff to have to scramble and work late to meet a deadline or prepare a presentation. Overtime is not easily approved for admins. Admins are expected to work from 8 to 5 and are not allowed to work from home. This is a pro as long as you can get your job done during regular business hours. If it is a busy time of year, the pressure is on the admin. Admins don't get paid when the office closes due to inclement weather because they cannot work from home. They can "get paid" if they use their PPL during closures. This matters more in the regional offices where it snows. Admins don't have good opportunities for job advancement. There is no flextime for admins, so if you need to leave early one day you can't make it up another day. Business software changes and you have to learn on the job, so you have to be the type of admin who can teach yourself new software.
