Pros

You can learn extensively about formatting PowerPoint, Excel and Word documents. The travel benefits are decent, and they provide more vacation than some comparable companies.

Cons

90% of Huron healthcare are new graduates with little to no healthcare experience. As any healthcare professional will tell you, this is limited. Unfortunately, knowledge of the healthcare industry is not appreciated. The ideal candidate will like to work on repetitive, checklist based tasks. There is a lack of trust amongst employees, because everyone is trying to get ahead. Therefore, anything you say and do, will be used against you, especially during review time. No true development: The mark of a learning organization, is to help people learn from their mistakes. Not at Huron, if you make a mistake, it will be used against you for years. It is often cloaked as "feedback", and is mostly for documentation, not learning purposes. If you are experienced, the only way to get ahead is to kiss a lot of butt. If you didn't come right out of college and start at Huron you are often ostracized. It's extremely limiting as far as creativity and new ideas. Will churn and burn analysts, they are expendable employees.

Pros

Salary & great benefits - but when you broke it down to the hours I had to work, the salary wasn't worth it.

Cons

NO WORK/LIFE BALANCE. They own you. Work grinder environment. If you aren't working on three engagements and not involved in 15 work groups you are not doing enough. 70% of work force is just out of college. They are willing to work 24/7 and prolong their college life, only now they have money and can travel. Not a work environment for the seasoned professional. Huron is not interested in new ideas or improving. They are interested in hitting their numbers and getting "quick hits." Upper management is clueless. They claim to have values but it is simply on paper to prevent law suits.

Pros

The pay is competitive and the benefits good. You receive an additional $750 per quarter for spending 25 nights out of town.

Cons

The culture is incentous and everyone gossips like high school. They promote those who exhibit their standards of success which is your ability to follow a checklist for cookie cutter solutions.
