A GREAT company that is passionate about what it does but MORE passionate about its people.

Pros

Company leaders openly admit that their #1 responsibility is to THEIR people. They openly tell clients and others that they know that if they take care of their employees to the best of their ability; the clients needs and expectations will always be met. Constant opportunities to participate at all levels of the company from day 1 and in the beginning, Sendero is focused on helping you to know YOU (i.e. leadership styles, etc.) and how to leverage that to your benefit.

Cons

Small company and some of the benefits to a larger firm are not there YET. But, the only CONS would be ones where the company's values don't align with yours, in which case you would realize it isn't the right fit. The values are what make this company great and are what set it apart from the competition.

Thank you for the input! We will continue to be transparent and offer multiple avenues to ask questions, share ideas, or raise concerns. Transparency is important to us because we believe in and trust our people to help us chase our shared goals. You’re right that we are a small (but fast growing!) company. We are actively assessing ways to change and enhance our current benefits offerings. Be sure to ask our HR Manager if you ever have any questions about how to maximize your benefits. Thanks for the review!

Great Company, Great Culture

Pros

- Positive, energetic, and friendly employees - Work life balance (especially for working in the consulting industry) - Openness from Senior Leadership - Leadership dedicated to supporting employees both personally and professionally

Cons

- Few opportunities for travel. If you want to travel for work, this isn't the company for you. We have several "travel" projects, but for the most part all work takes place within DFW - Training isn't at the same level as some of the more established firms, but has improved since I joined - Benefits/Salary aren't the same as larger firms but are improving. You get the perks of a smaller firm (no travel, work-life balance, and a fun, family atmosphere) and won't feel like you're "just a number" here. I personally feel that these benefits are greater than working for a larger firm and making more money

Hello and thank you for the feedback! We are excited to hear that you have experienced the work/life balance we aim for, and know that you are not “just a number,” but a valued member of our team. You’re correct that there are limited opportunities to travel, but we see this as a perk! Sendero was founded on the goal of having a locally focused consulting model. This allows our people to have balance in their lives and build a strong local network. Training development is a high priority at Sendero. As a smaller firm, we are constantly developing new and relevant training for our people. It takes time, but we believe the training we offer is top-notch. Also, Sendero regularly conducts salary assessments to ensure we offer highly competitive salaries to our people. As you mentioned, we will continue to hire individuals who embody our culture because it makes us who we are. Thank you again for your feedback!

Supportive environment and excellent culture--ideal for personal development

Pros

The best part about working for Sendero is the support system. New hires are supported by peers and an internal mentoring program which focuses on long-term personal growth and development. The work environment truly is collaborative and not adversarial at all--you're not competing against your fellow associates for 'partner track' as with large firms. Sendero has a genuine commitment to its people and shared success. These values are embodied in the executive leadership of the firm who are accessible, transparent and inclusive. Finally, the firm is full of young and dynamic individuals who take an active role in shaping the future of the company.

Cons

If you want to jetset around the country for work and have expense checks larger than your paychecks, this is not the place for you. Sendero prides itself on civic engagement and establishing a local presence, meaning vast majority of work is in DFW (which is actually a draw for consultants tired of the travel).

Hello and thanks for the review! You’re correct that most of our work is located In DFW, and we agree that is a perk! Many of our consultants have lived the travel life, and we pride ourselves on the opportunity to do challenging, and engaging management consulting work without the constant travel. We do occasionally have projects that require travel, but we gauge desire to travel before making final staffing decisions. We’re thrilled to hear that you’ve found a support system within Sendero. We are committed to fostering an environment where each and every employee has an avenue for advice and questions. We will continue to offer formal programs, such as our Buddy and Career Advocate program, as well as encourage informal networking and coaching. Thanks for the review!
