Pros
I enjoy the work itself supporting individuals and families in transition with career and relocation coaching and support. Having worked at IG for several years, I continue to be impressed with the skills and talents that coaches and employees have but also the engagement and commitment to the work that we do. Like all companies there are people who come and go but overall I have been impressed with the longevity of many of the account managers, coaches, and senior leaders. Over the years I have seen many people come back as well. It's nice that when people take a new opportunity they go with good wishes and sometimes come back a few years later if new opportunities arise. I appreciate that even when working remotely and part time you can get to know others through All Hand's calls, and coaching trainings and meetings. Over the years I have also enjoyed being able to work on projects aimed to improve our service and delivery. Perhaps what I like the best is that the company and leadership team are always open to new ideas. Not all can be implemented or be implemented immediately but many are and this allows us to constantly be staying on top of the needs of the people we work with. We even have opportunities to meet in small groups with the CEO from time to time and this is always refreshing to hear directly from her but also to learn from others in the room from different divisions.
Cons
For me there are not a lot. We do have to provide our own computer and equipment which as a part time coach I understand. It would be great to have an annual allowance that we could use to offset some of the expenses such as a paid AI service or Adobe for example that some people take on to make work more efficient.
