Pros

Sales-focused with solid opportunities to continue growing the client base, support innovation, and increase value in tech and life sciences.

Cons

Operations and IT leadership is evolving. People are being left behind or are leaving under confusing leadership and changing demands. Middle management is just that, full of managers rather than leaders or mentors. Career pathing is left to individuals creating an atmosphere of competition rather than support.

Pros

Great people to work with. Care about their employees. Interesting industries to cover.

Cons

There are not a ton of downsides. I think compensation can often be a little lower than market but my opinion is most people think it's worth it given all the other aspects of working there.
