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

Pros

- Get to work on a variety of project being a newer office - Never have to travel is you don't want to - Working with almost all Fortune 500 clients in the Twin Cities - Almost everyone has a Big 4 consulting background, and is quite seasoned - Frequent office social outings - An entrepreneurial spirit - 4 week paid sabbatical (75% of your regular pay) after 6,000 billable hours - If you do get the itch to travel again all you have to do is raise your hand

Cons

- 15 days of PTO for your first 24 months of service - 7 paid holidays, no floaters - No sick days, must use PTO or take unpaid for any time you're not working - Employer will not start matching your 401k contributions until 1 year of service, 25% on your first 6% at that time - Only $65 cell phone reimbursement per month - Not reimbursed for mileage
