Pros

Looks good on your resume

Cons

Too much change. Leadership doesn’t see the worth in what the high performing employees are doing unless you’re aligned with one of the top 200 clients. Rolls out changes to employees abruptly without solid planning. Archaic methodology in how the work is done with too much room for human error. Not a cutting edge compant despite a couple apps and commercials they launched to get more traction.

Great work life balance, good benefits, decent pay, ease of running your own practice as an “advisor”, and healthy work environment

Cons

Management styles can vary and affect your experience, upper management doesn’t seem to be well equipped to ensure the organization’s success but it is resilient nonetheless.
