      Worst employer of my career (out of 4). Wish I regain wasted years.

      Pros

      This is a sales driven environment, clients be darned. If you generate revenue, you can be well compensated. And if you cease to serve your clients, no one will care as long as you continue to post revenue. In fact, you can behave very badly and people will put up with it if you post revenue. But if your revenue is less than bullet proof, look out. They will cut your head off and come after you for every penny they can find.

      Cons

      No HR, no orientation, no mercy, no internal help, poor benefits, retched office environment. Need something internal? Good luck figuring out who to talk to. Need something for a client? Be prepared to pull teeth and twist arms to get it done. Navigating the IT systems? They're a mile wide.

      Pros

      Pretty nice benefits with wellness incentives. Upped employer match to 6% from 3%. Management tends to listen to feedback. Generally, I work with talented people.

      Cons

      Worried about filling roles rather than employee development. If you're a motivated individual, don't get sucked into a role in operations. You'll be pigeon holed and will leave within a year. High turnover, can't wait to leave.

      Pros

      - career growth: opportunity to grow your career by learning from peers, internal training courses, short workshops - healthy environment: most of the staff treat other each well. Teamwork attitude with a focus on helping the community multiple months of the year - access to management: you can typically meet with senior management easily on a quarterly basis. I also feel like line manager support is good - benefits: nice amount of time off from day 1 and decent 401k match

      Cons

      - Reviews/Compensation: One yearly review where the metrics to succeed are very tough. Everyone is "average" on the scale and very tough to break through the average threshold. Compensation lacks workload. You will feel underpaid for 1-2 years due to workload before you are recognized with a raise in compensation. Also, compensation discussion is yearly after reviews. You never see off cycle raises. Insurance: HSA model which can be difficult for families
