Pros

*Employee stock purchase plan has generous matching on fairly stable company stock *Momentum Financials is used by 70+ federal agencies

Cons

*The stock purchase plan does not make up for abysmal salaries compared to other management consulting firms. *Company went to high deductible insurance in 2014, increasing burden on employees. *Annual salary increases are between 1-2.5%, forcing employees to jump ship to see a significant increase and adding to the turnover rate that management complains about annually. * As another review mentioned, advancement/promotions seem arbitrary and based on the member's relationship with upper management and not merit/competence. *Promotions that do occur often go to people who are abrasive and verbally abusive to employees, but have good visibility with upper management. *Work/life harmony can be thrown out the window if management creates a short turnaround for a deliverable (with no input from line employees) and "voluntell" them to work nights and weekends.
