Great until it wasn't

Business Outlook

Pros

The team I was on (better than a lot of them)

Cons

I came on with no previous staffing experience and did incredibly well my first year thanks to my team leads and managers. Unfortunately there was a massive change in company leadership and they just started layoff after layoff until it's now turned into a shell of what it was. It's more like a nightmare T*ksystems now. They changed up the commission structure which negatively affected basically everyone and it's now a workplace where you're fearing for your job everyday. Ew. Also the amount of employees I know who are still there that have reached out to see how I can aid in their escape is alarming.

Pros

On a good contract. Great coworkers in the Bellevue office as a holdover from the acquisition of Launch/110 Consulting, Vestiges of a great work culture. remote work. When I reached out about correcting a gender pay gap on my team, they were receptive and helped close the gap.

Cons

After the acquisition by TPG, benefits and PTO have been cut every year. It feels like they are slowly stripping away the support that made this a great job. The HR / Recruiting department has had so much turnover its hard to develop a plan for advancing your career. TPG is moving from a company from which you can consult many companies to one that will dump you when your contract ends.
