Benefits are the same. You just get paid more but that comes generally with longer working hours and higher expectations.

Bad, dragged down by PwC.

Weak 401k match (25% of your first 6%, so 1.25%); however they contribute ~4% to a similar retirement account with no employee contribution required, so effectively a max 5.25% employer retirement contribution. Extremely long vesting period - 5 years

Horribly expensive healthcare plans

Below manager, only 15 vacation days (jumps to 22 after 2 years)

Only good thing I can think of is paternity leave

like

22 days is not for all levels

Made a career pivot to another agency. During the interview we talked about how it may start as initially a "step backwards" (pay/benefits) but has potential for more long term growth. First day was yesterday. Had no communication about when or where to show up, sat in an empty office for about half an hour before a couple people finally showed. No phone call or email. Sent an email to the founder, no response. I could easily get my old job back if wanted.

What would you do in this situation?

This one is going to make some of y’all mad, but it’s so annoyingly unnecessary. The most irritating part is “is it a shirt day or a skirt day”…. Like women don’t wear shirts with skirts and men don’t wear shirts with pants. Shirts and skirts are not mutually exclusive. I’ll just leave this here.
