Pros

Great place for a consultant billing an hourly wage. Decent benefits, and 401k perks for FTE. Some employees (Sr Mgr and above) receive very nice packages.

Cons

Very very biased (sex and race), you are either 'in' or 'not'. Long hours expected, work life balance mentioned but not a reality. You are expected to work long hours with no real comp time. Certain Mgr/Dir/VP positions get all the raises and bonuses, does not trickle down to the workers. Incompetent workers seem to thrive. Company low balls salary , 10-30% below market

Horrible place to work

Pros

Nothing. You're literally forced to get customer information. There's a lot of favouritism. If you don't really make extra sales, good luck on being on the management's good side.

Cons

If you like to hold on to your dignity don't even apply. You won't get paid the money you deserve. Horrible company.
