Pros

The people! The people I worked with on a daily basis were the only thing keeping me tied to the company. The team I was apart of was part well-oiled machine, part family.

Cons

Management does not show support for their teams. They are looking for employees to just say yes and never challenge them, to keep their heads down and work. Any time you ask a real question it’s followed by excuses for why they don’t have answers. The company (PowerAdvocate, now WMSC) has been sold, merged and resold in the course of just the past few years and it has eroded the culture and morale. There is no longer a culture of leadership, but rather a culture of management.

Pros

Appreciated working with smart, driven colleagues; they were truly experts in their fields. The rigorous schedules we were on were strictly maintained, which usually made for a very organized structure and workload.

Cons

Leadership went through many changes and acquisitions while I was there. The mission seemed to keep changing, and it wasn't easy to maintain consistency in our reports with such leadership changes. Market analysts were often pulled onto consulting projects but were not paid as consultants. This is what pushed me to leave.
