Pros

So many people that work here are wonderful, want to do the right thing and deliver excellent service to clients and work well together as a team. But like anywhere, that can depend on the team you're part of and who your leaders and team members are. If you can be sheltered from the cons below, it is typically a great place to work. Benefits are typical and competitive, except time off for exempt colleagues. Pay can be reasonable depending on position and if your manager sees your worth and pushes to ensure you're compensated adequately for your talent and work ethic.

Cons

The politics at the top get in the way of job security, efficiency and doing the right thing. Many executives will not listen to SMEs if it isn't what they want to hear, even if it is not the right thing to do. This truly takes away from the pros of working here. The shift in allowing remote work only to push to get people back in offices where there is no room because locations were downsized is laughable and is reducing engagement and colleagues wanting to stay. Executive management is toxic at times. Long hours, affecting work/life balance. Flexible PTO is only a ploy (cost savings) to not have to pay out colleagues accumulated PTO when they leave. Exempt colleagues no longer get floating holidays, also part of the ploy to not pay out and to make colleagues work more. And new managers have no idea what colleagues had been awarded based on role and/or tenure to decide if what a colleague takes is "reasonable". IT support is subpar. No one is safe here.
