Pros

There are some smart consultants here. The company always makes money, specifically the partners.

Cons

One owner is a Qanon conspiracy theorist (that is true) and also has a reputation for bullying and verbally attacking people that work for him. After a quick period of time it will be evident who the favorites are and if you're not a favorite you might as well leave immediately. Management manipulates situations especially around larger deals in an effort to keep their pockets full. They have decreased salaries recently and are being "selective" on who gets that money back. They even docked hourly folks that were billable... If you go there in a senior capacity make sure you confirm understanding of how they bill overhead. Look at the partner pool and you will notice diversity is missing. More than One of the partners is known for having some party traits that would be defined as less than professional. Morality is second to money here.

MRE Consulting Response

Thank you for taking the time to post on Glassdoor. We are sorry your experience here was not what you wanted. You are correct that MRE has been financially successful for many years. The three founding partners of MRE have been implementing a plan to involve more senior managers and directors in ownership and decision-making. Not all of these efforts have worked out. Confidentiality prevents us from explaining every decision on this forum or even to other employees. MRE thought it handled the pandemic’s effect on our business very equitably. Largely because of the effects on the energy industry, our employee count, and profits regressed. We look forward to building back soon with people of all races, genders, and political viewpoints. MRE does not cancel anyone or favor anyone not related to job performance and fitting into our culture of hard work and delivering results for our clients.

Disappointing Experience

Pros

• They hire good people; good colleagues. • The Happy Hours are fun. • The Christmas party was fun.

Cons

**ITM side, primarily the SMB group. I can't speak for the CTRM side of the business.** • There is a general distrust employees have of upper management. • Managers are so incredibly busy they are disconnected from their team and what’s going on in them. • Organization and ticket management. Employees aren’t sure how to track the time they take to use the restroom. Everything is broken down to a granular level; time buckets for email management, meetings, documentation, training, etc. • Be prepared to do anything management tells you to do, even it’s completely off from what you’d expect. • Below market average salaries, benefits are mediocre. • Be wary of “promises” or “incentives” (training etc.) at employment. This appears to be a part of the recruitment process to achieve the below market salary. • Small team/environment – So expect general office drama and cherry picking.
