Pros

Pay is great. No Travel if you wish. Plenty of vacation time.

Cons

Poor lower management. They place consultants into positions just to fill a spot but in turn set consultants up for failure by placing them into areas they have no experience. Let clients walk all over their consultants. Can be very stressful work.

This is John Tobin. This is good feedback - we continue to improve our people management training, but we admit that sometimes we stretch people and we need to watch this. I encourage you to talk openly about this with the senior leadership (including your GM), in the Denver office - I feel this is good feedback to provide to them directly.

Pros

•There is an impressive budget, especially for high-level events, ancillary experiences, client giveaways, and premium swag. Management does not hesitate to fund top-notch brand experiences when needed. •The company offers a highly competitive benefits and perks package that remains a strong selling point.

Cons

•The "fiercely human" core value does not match daily operations. Collaboration is routinely replaced by a self-service model of training videos and help articles. •These recurring shifts are designed to manufacture the appearance of fiscal stability for the benefit of external stakeholders and clients, while leaving core operational deficits unaddressed. •Organizational maturity is low. Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
