Pros

Pay isn’t that bad, decent benefits. Work life balance is really good for a consultancy.

Cons

Going through changes and a massive reorg. These are always difficult but some how a consultant firm that does this for other businesses absolutely botched this. The deadline has moved a ton and there still isn’t a holistic clear picture of how this is going to work. This is the right move to go from a “franchise” business model to a real national one, but there is still so much that needs to be changed. From staffing, employee metrics, standardized SOWs, org wide best practices for each practice. Also stop letting locations opt in or out of this, this should not be optional based on location.

Pros

•There is an impressive budget, especially for high-level events, ancillary experiences, client giveaways, and premium swag. Management does not hesitate to fund top-notch brand experiences when needed. •The company offers a highly competitive benefits and perks package that remains a strong selling point.

Cons

•The "fiercely human" core value does not match daily operations. Collaboration is routinely replaced by a self-service model of training videos and help articles. •These recurring shifts are designed to manufacture the appearance of fiscal stability for the benefit of external stakeholders and clients, while leaving core operational deficits unaddressed. •Organizational maturity is low. Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
