Pros

The people are nice and offer as much help as possible. Weekly team meetings to highlight investigators accomplishments. Early release on Friday only if you exceed quota.

Cons

You will work well over 40 hours a week with no additional compensation. Unattainable quota to achieve within the standard 8 hr work week. Guidance changes every other week so it’s difficult to follow what is required from you. The work is redundant and repetitive. Low compensation compared to other AML investigator jobs. Please keep in mind that you will be overworked and management won’t blink an eye about you working extra hours. No real room for career growth unless you jump around to other projects after you’ve been on your current project for 14 months.

Pros

I work directly with excellent people. My immediate colleagues are collaborative, capable, and committed to doing high-quality work for clients.

Cons

The biggest challenges tend to come from the corporate side of the organization. Corporate processes and communication can sometimes feel disconnected from the needs of project teams, which creates unnecessary friction. In addition, benefits that were once stronger, including 401(k) matching and medical coverage, have been significantly reduced. A recent example is the increased emphasis on “utilization rates” in merit increases. While utilization is understandable in a consulting environment, tying it too heavily to merit can effectively penalize employees for using earned vacation time and can make PTO feel less like a real benefit.
