Pros

Helping clients solve problems and achieve their goals is the best part of the job.

Cons

The management team has weaknesses. Those in charge don't seem to know how to execute their stated initiatives. There have been countless missteps with continued promises that things will get better. Long-term staff is demoralized and those that haven't been forced out are beginning to depart voluntarily.

Pros

- Great team from department head down - Collaboration is encouraged - Self-starter culture with good room for side projects - "See something, say something" approach allows questioning methodology without a feeling of personal attacks or "dumb questions" and enables team members to support each other in a safe environment - Work from home

Cons

- Executive leadership does not know what they want - Consistent turnover in C-Suite leads to departments acting like small internal companies rather than part of a larger system - Limited permission access for team members means that any absence or time-off can lead to a backlog of deployments
