Not as good as I had hoped for

Human resources consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Ability to work with owners and managers of businesses within many different industries. Great team environment. Flexible schedule allowing time in the office and in the field with clients.

Cons

It is a very flat organization that leaves no room for growth. Base salaries are less than industry standards with the potential of profit sharing after the first year, but no guarantees.

Horrible Benefits, You Can Do Better

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Dental plan is ok for singles

Cons

No vacation the first year. Only one week paid vacation after a year. Can't contribute to 401k for over a year. No health plan options with less that $1500 out of pocket deductible Very expensive if you add family members to plan Pay for life insurance if you want more than 20k - most companies offering 2x and 3x salary. Pay for short term disability coverage Pay for long term disability coverage No formal review or pay raise process Profit sharing plan is raved about, but you don't qualify for it for over a year, and it's a pittance. Would rather be able to contribute to my 401k and have the tax benefit.
