Pros

RSM is a good place to start your career; they train you and you have a bit more structure before you are thrown into the deep end. I had a total of 6 weeks of training, two in Chicago and 4 in Denver. This is mainly because I'm in a highly technical role, which requires more knowledge of the system. Training has it's pros and cons, it's long hours, but you get to network and you get actual hands-on experience before you are in front of clients. You get more autonomy on this team, mainly because you are responsible for every aspect of the tickets you will get. It's a blessing and a curse. You will learn a lot, but you will be on your own for a lot too. If you have a good team, people will help you. But the higher up in the company you go, the less actual help you will receive. The majority of people in this company are kind and helpful, but the majority are also stressed and have very limited availability. It is a consulting firm after all.

Cons

Numbers are everything; it depends on your leadership and your team, but at the end of the day, if you don't have the billables, you are going to be in the next round of layoffs. Layoffs (in my short time at the company) come about every Fall and Spring, so keep your resume up to date and make good connections in the company.

Pros

If you are in the right team, with good seniors and good managers you will have a good time with the work. Hybrid was a very nice touch, they were pretty good about allowing you your two days at home if you wanted them. Benefits were decent

Cons

Very, very team dependent. A ton of seniors seriously don't want to teach at all. I remember coming up, and even after I was a senior, listening to people complain so much that they got a first year, and they did not want to teach them or didn't have time to. Its a huge popularity contest on if you get good jobs or not. Partners will make you work the most crap jobs and keep all the good jobs for their favorites. They use and abuse people so often. Got laid off 1 day after the busy season.
