Public Consulting Group reviews

Poor pay, poor treatment of employees. They pay most 'consultants' between $60-80K then bill them out at over $200/hr. That is the reason for their success. The work horses are treated poorly with no HR and a management staff that is looking to pad their income with bonus. It is like matrix marketing where only the top make money. The poor clients get 'help' in the form of a body (but we get no training and no attention) but for a cost that really takes needed $$s out of the public sectors. They will churn through employees in 'hopes' of keeping the client happy. Worse leadership and management I have ever seen. Finger pointing culture, you can survive if you are a favorite, but still they have a revolving door of employees.

Compensation isn’t market standard If the employee doesn’t set boundaries themselves, they’ll get buried in work They try to feed you with this “mission is good here” marketing instead of raising your wage Too much talk about the mission of PCG but in reality, associate managers and above are greedy people who fight over projects to make more money Managers don’t advocate for you for the most part, you have to fight to be promoted and get a salary increase They don’t promote people when they deserve it: you have to wait until the end of the year and there’s a limit in number of people they promote so even if you deserve it, you may have to wait another year, among other un aceptable excuses to not get promoted they give employees Not a diverse company though they like to think they are, management and especially the shareholders are mostly white, straight, males that give us “goodie bags” and pizza parties
