Pros

Up until this point I spent my entire career at this company. It was like we were a family. I loved this company and recommended it colleagues and potential clients alike.

Cons

When the company sold a controlling interest in itself to a private equity group, we went from being our client’s trusted advisor, to being our owner’s trusted revenue source.
