Pros

Not many. The benefits came mostly from relying on what the Client offered on campus.

Cons

This was absolutely the worst professional experience I have encountered. The interview process itself took nearly 3 months-no reason given. From the get go, it was evident that my coworkers were not happy. There was no formal training, this is a sink or swim philosophy. When I addressed finding redundancy in tasks that slow down efficiency, I was told to do it anyways. Top down management with little respect to the team made the turnover high (10 people left within a year). The client itself was difficult, setting unrealistic timeframes and demands, But there was no advocacy to support the group. I went home on a regular basis feeling stress and anxiety. I quickly learned this was a toxic work culture and made the right choice to leave.

Pros

They provide a wealth of learning materials to further your career.

Cons

My experience was that upper management does not understand what those in lower level positions do, and they don't take advantage of experience and knowledge of those below them to make strategic decisions.
