Pros

Abundance of knowledge gained & looks good on your resume

Cons

Underpaid and overworked w/ high turn around. If you are receiving a decent salary you realize you have limitations on other opportunities as the other dept. wont accommodate your salary due to budgets. So you continue to get good PPR with a slither of hope you wont be stuck in your existing department while waiting like a sitting duck to get laid off. Don't worry SS will rehire you but not any where near what you were previously earning.

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

Pros

They offer resources for learning.

Cons

In my previous roles I've never felt burnout but with this one is the first I was feeling crush. I don't think managers take time to structure the tasks on a 8hrs or 10hrs per day. There are a lot of unrealistic expectations, no work-life balance at all. Even if you made the sacrifice to stay late, you will not be done with the work for the day.
