Pros

Mid size, smaller clients. Flex plans available if granted.

Cons

1. No manager or seniors to teach and support. You either self learn or learn form other staff. 2. No trainings. Only national training which are pre- recorded. 3. Lack of empathy. 4. No sick days. 5. No room to grow. Growth is stagnant as there is no focus on it at all. 6. Lack of regular feedbacks. No way to improve if no feedbacks are given. 7. Merger with new regional company has added pressure on existing employees. 8. No focus on well-being or mental health. Management does not care if you worked overtime on deadline weeks. No extra time off to comp for overworked weeks before deadline. 9. No courtesy lunch or dinners provided during busy season. 10. Lack of team development. 11. Blame culture. 13. No 401k match for first year. 14. No profit sharing or bonus. 15. No transparency on pay scale or bonus if offered.

Pros

Consultants were not overworked, and people are generally staying in their own lane. Strong knowlegeable teammates and lots of internal resources to grow. Work life balance was good.

Cons

I left during a time of transition, since the top practice director retired and the EBA leader took over as interim leader. This interim guy seemed to be waiting for something to take any action with current resources, and he was not too interested in rallying or figuring things out as a team. If he had expectations, they were never communicated to me. The lack of clarity was very challenging for me personally, and it came off as a lack of support. I think others in the team probably feel similarly.
