Pros

The consultants are really smart, hard working and kind people.

Cons

If you’re best friends with the CEO you can expect promotions, made up jobs, and matching high pay. If you’re a consultant be really careful - if you’re unassigned your pay goes to HALF right away and you have zero control over this, it’s just if they have a job for you or not and if you’re on the favorite list.

Don't really know if this is a real person or not seeing as how me, as the Founder, is the only person at the firm here longer than 6 years. Regardless, we can all have our opinions and views and it's never good when your team isn't aligned. Hopefully we'll continue to learn and get better so we can be the best possible company and team we can possibly be.
