Pros

Other consultants are nice, Paid mileage to the airport. however, NO monthly car allowance , NO gas. its all on you.

Cons

Upper management are no where to be found. You are just a pawn in their game. You work your butt off, travel every week. They will tell you that you have a territory but it turns out it will be the entire USA. That's right your territory is all USA. You will be sick of seeing the suitcase. excessive meetings about meetings. Consultants do half the project managers work ??? You will be at the site 2 weeks in a row. 1 week education and the other week of go live. PM shows up in the beginning and leaves when its convenient for them. When your done teaching for the day and you go back to your hotel. Well its not time to rest, its time to open the computer and start doing a couple hrs of work each night for future accounts- again doing alot of the PM's work. Not sure how upper management thinks this is normal. I guess out of site out of mind??? way to ignore issues. If you happen to sell additional modules because you are also sales support, you dont get a dime!! but who does , the sales person that's not even on site. Absolutely no incentive!! Dont even think about climbing the ladder, it wont happen. I have been here for a while and I only seen a couple people in the system move to Senior consultant and thats after they have you doing a TON of FREE extra work well above the 50 hrs of work/week you do. Excessive emails t/o the day and a lot of the emails are about how upper management advancing. DONT send me any more emails about LGBTQ - just ridiculous it shouldn't be a part of work emails. This is supposed to be a large and professional company. Lets keep your sexuality preference out of it!!! If you have a family , think long and hard!!! you WILL NOT SEE THEM. 5-6 days of travel every week. They will tell you less but NOT being truthful. They pull you in then your stuck. My kids are grown however I dont get to see my spouse that often. Currently looking for a new position to prevent a divorce.

Pros

There really aren't any. Incredibly toxic culture all the way down. BD used to be a great and supportive place to work but that is no more.

Cons

Very toxic culture. Management all the way down is either abusive or or flat out incompetent. We are told to essentially ignore our own code of conduct policies and ethics to the point where all qualified and competent performers have been run off by tyrant middle managers who can essentially do whatever they want or being saddled with the work of 3 people. You will not be valued here. The morale is at bottom and everyone is looking to leave the sinking ship.
