Vantaggi
-Close-knit, supportive work environment -Monthly team-bonding activities, occasional non-work-related events to know co-workers outside of the office -Changing departments or offices is supported -Great PTO and benefits -Meeting clients at first is intimidating, but after being a trusted face, you will build great relationships with clients and their families (Be sure to have professional boundaries though)
Svantaggi
-You will have a workload. The 9-5 with some weeks did not feel like enough (and I worked over for sure, my full amount of flex-time was never compensated by the time I left lol) -Structure is pretty loose -Individual departments are not big (e.g. 1-3 people for departments). Do not be surprised in being a one-man show of your department -Most days, expect your to-do list or schedule to change if your supervisor notifies you of a new deadline or a client comes in. It is not even done in an intruding way most of the time, it is just the environment -Training is limited. You will learn hands on (both a pro and con) -Weeks up to monitoring (e.g. like auditing in a way) are stressful.
