Great Company, Long Hours

Associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great work environment with co-workers, 20 days PTO, great/unmatched pay right out of school

Cons

PTO will need to be planned exactly or you will end up making up billable hours for this time even if you "take it off." Lack of "decent" training- seems like the firm expects you to get something without ever having done it before. The lack of training comes from above and causes other problems that could have been avoided if training had been provided. Long hours. Billable budget to meet every year/month.
