Pros

Good long term projects make for a relaxed work environment. Opportunities to develop expertise and learn from some of the best in the business. Competitive salaries and strong incentives such as profit sharing and employee ownership as you advance. The company is also well reputed with clients and industry peers.

Cons

Few opportunities to work across practice areas or regions. Project assignments are limited a very narrow area of perceived expertise.

Pros

Some of the people in the office/other branches were great and I continue to have friendships with them to this day.

Cons

If you’re a young professional, say good bye to seeing the inside of an office. You’re 100% in the field with no room to learn other parts of the job and grow your own client network and report writing. The dynamic between the leadership group (Amber Ahles and Brooke Bennett) and younger professional (especially females) was terrible. This was a mean girls club where you are judged by what you wear, what time you walk in and out of the door, and if you had an opinion. They never would take accountability for failing the younger professionals and then just blame you for not growing and improving at the pace they wanted you to. At the end of the day, management and leaders are responsible for the growth and success of the team. Additionally, if you want to be bullied by mid level professionals, who think they are superior to you and gang up with management, this is the place. Johnnie Noles will take care of that for you. In all, the only good thing this job brought me, was the “experience” to take myself anywhere but there. The way you treat people matters. And these three people single handily ruined the experience for me and others I have spoken with. Do better.

Thank you for sharing your feedback about your experience at GEI Consultants over the past three, almost four years. It’s great to hear that the company fosters a friendly and flexible culture, and that you find the projects engaging and rewarding. The opportunity for employee ownership and the positive growth of the stock are certainly valuable benefits that can enhance job satisfaction. Regarding your concerns about compensation and workload, it’s important that these issues are acknowledged. Competitive pay and clearly defined job responsibilities are essential for maintaining morale and ensuring that employees feel valued. If you haven’t already, you might consider discussing these concerns with your supervisor to explore possible solutions, such as reviewing compensation packages or clarifying job expectations. Your feedback is important for helping the company continue to improve and support its employees. Thank you again for sharing your honest perspective.
