Pros

Office Working Environment (office dependent)

Cons

Tons of overhead but will tell you that you are the problem, want an average of 45 hours with 80%+ chargeability to receive bonus (that is generally not great), will promise quick progression but won't support progression, pays terrible unless you get lucky, will gaslight you about their company being great, offices are ran by incompetent people in north-central division, will pay client development more than they will pay a department manager with a P.E.
