Pros

The pay and benefits are great.

Cons

Entrenched bureaucracy - middle management is duplicitous - the political environment is uncomfortable there. The ceiling for advancement is dependent on department, but most hires are internal lifers who lack external chops and the usual politics with allies/favorites can be expected. From 2017-2020 I witnessed three separate rounds of relatively large layoffs.

Pros

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.

Pros

Compensation is great for advisors once they are promoted to VP. Everyone else has to wait a year and hope for a good rating that's more of a game than merit based

Cons

Woke culture, reverse discrimination, very frustrating to do business with as a client
