Pros

-Excellent work/life balance (40 hours per weeks, flexible with dentist/doctor appointments) -Some people are excellent to work with, other people not so much -Pay is competitive if you are coming right out of college

Cons

-Rotations may actually function to limit your career growth early on, as more benefits/compensation come from specialists with strong technical skills, not from generalist track -You may have very tedious rotations in group insurance
