Pros

Work-life balance was excellent. Management is very flexible.

Cons

Promotions are based on who you know. Do not over work yourself going above & beyond your normal tasks. You will not be rewarded with a great bonus or promotion. They seem to have it in their minds that a pat on the back & praise is what employees are looking for. That being said, advancement is unlikely.

Pros

Stable work life balance. The culture is really great, very easy to work with complex management and managers. Willing to help you grow and learn with clients

Cons

Not a lot of room for growth unless you come in the door with that expectation. It can be very easy to get stuck in this role as your pay slowly increases and the job title mostly stays the same. Associate promotions and raises are rarely given and take a lot of coercion to get.
