consulting firm without a plan

Pros

if you are not on the IT side, there is decent work/life balance. Some interesting folks in the company.

Cons

Boring clients with boring projects. Obviously they don't get the kind of projects you expect in a big 4 consulting firm or even management consulting. You do whatever work comes your way. The management simply puts bodies at projects. Also, i have noticed the IT team is understaffed even though majority of the projects are IT. There are more managers than developers! There is a lot of bureaucracy within the company. Majority of the clients are local mom n pop shops or small businesses after whom the big consulting firms will not go after. So the projects tend to be very boring with limited learning. If you are coming from a big firm, the benefits is a joke!

Pros

a nice place to meet new people and networking in between your jobs

Cons

- industry standard pay with terrible benefits - only 3 weeks of PTO with no sick leaves, only 7 public holidays - no 401k match. - very high co-pay for adding family to health care plan. Work: -no long term engagements with clients. - 4-6 week strategy projects with a lot of bench time (i.e- no bonus!) - you will "travel" anywhere in 35mile radius from your home office without any reimbursements. -Since you have multiple projects thru out the year, you will always be on your toes(so much for no travel job!!) - unable to deliver to client expectations (very less repeat business) - too many managers and very few who actually do the job -if you are going to be in IT, be prepared for 50+hrs/week from week 2
