      Pros

      -young staff -free fruit and granola bars -nice building with rooftop access

      Cons

      -Horrible upper management -Felt a bit of racism being a minority at this firm - very aggressive managers to the point where I felt I was being harassed. Went to HR, but nothing was done about it. - Its not about working hard to be promoted here, but rather how much rear end you are willing to kiss.

      Pros

      My coworkers were some of the best, most talented people I’ve ever worked with. (Before they were all laid off)

      Cons

      This company does not see its employees as humans, just cogs in a machine and stepping stones on the path to making money that they can discard once they take absolutely everything from you. They will get you to move to Richmond with an attractive salary, brag about what a great employer they are, then bleed you dry with a culture of fear and 55+hour work weeks until you and your entire department are laid off on a random Thursday with zero warning because they got what they needed out of you. It’s disgusting, it’s unethical, and the reputation of the CEO Andy Florance should be enough of a red flag (Seriously, go do some Googling and Reddit searching.) It’s a well-known company, yes, but for ALL the wrong reasons. Mention their name to anyone in the city of Richmond and they will have a horror story for you. Everyone knows about them and their reputation here, which is why they have to hire so many people from out of state. I read the horror stories before I took this job but I overlooked them all for the salary and the sparkly building. PLEASE don’t make the same mistake I did. Stay FAR away from this company and everything it touches. You have been warned.

      Poor Senior Leadership, Bad Work Environment, KEEP LOOKING

      Client relationship consultant

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Free Lunches and nice views if you have a good office location.

      Cons

      -Pay for parking - Required in office, however has changed as of recently, I believe you're allowed one day remote from home - Not much room for growth, they have programs that intended to set you up for manager positions, but management and senior leadership are toxic so not exactly worth it. - Pay not worth the amount of work your doing or the verbal harassment you deal with. - CEO does not listen to employees feedback and fired people who followed an instagram page that discussed the poor treatment of its employees. Advice to young college students - this is a good first job to teach you that you deserve better. It is decent pay for your first job, but your mental health will take a toll.
