Pros

Great experience for the industry but best used as a stepping stone. Flexible work schedule, however you are literally on call 24/7 and might sleep in your office/cube.

Cons

If you like working long hours for below average pay and a horrible back stabbing culture the they are the employer for you. The pyramid type compensation scheme leads to minimal opportunities if you are not willing to brown nose or sacrifice your own bonus to get decent projects. Basically if you start out in a satellite office outside of Dallas, the benefits are limited. They don't reward the people who perform the work but rather the people who sell the work. Even if you are able to land a new prosperous client chances are a Principal has already listed them as their own, even if they do not have a contact inside the firm. Basically your typical Republican bureaucracy to make the rich richer off the backs of others. For a small growing company their business model is fine, but their recent growth (strictly by acquisition, and not necessarily organically) has put constant strain on internal departments and functions such as IT, HR, recruiting, and as a result limited their employees due compensation. It's a Big Four wannabe with the same long hours, worse benefits, a toxic culture, and less pay.

Pros

Culture is great amongst principle and executive team members. The work is not difficult if you have prior experience in property tax. Benefits are good. Great promotion track if you are willing to play the politics.

Cons

Political environment. Senior Consultants do not mind throwing newer people under the bus for their mistakes. Boundaries are not respected. You are expected to know everything with no real formal training, they do provide some training for the first few weeks but then it drops off and everything needs to be self taught. Management has favorites and you will know instantly.
