Pros
- Flexibility with hours - Ability to work from home three days a week - Starting pay is very good if you come from one of the firm's benefits administration competitors - Mostly a 40~45 hours/week job
Cons
- Baptism by fire, in every meaning of the word - Very redundant training process that takes 6 weeks - Almost zero communication - Everyone is always busy that, starting out, you will never be able to get any help unless you nag continuously for days - Things get put on the back burner for far too long - Expected to be available during PTO even if someone else can take care of the issue - Never knowing whether you'll need to work late or even the weekend - Mostly a 40~45 hours/week job. Very rarely will it be exactly 40 hours, and during busy season it will go up to 55+ hours/week
