Pros

Health benefits and you can begin contributing to your 401(k) on the first day.

Cons

DFC could have been great, and instead it's taken the worst parts of its management and executive's abilities and turned them into weapons. On my last day, a coworker told me, "I wish I could have warned you to stay away." DFC's culture is based on cattiness, power plays, and fear. When half your staff cries every day (in the bathroom, on the drive to and from work, on the Metro, etc.), and everyone talks in whispers of what new medication they're trying to manage the stress caused by work, you've done something seriously wrong. I got to the point where when my manager or a C-suite person were within 10 feet of me, my stomach dropped and I started sweating. DFC needs a serious overhaul or they will continue to lose talent hand over fist the way they have the past two years.

Pros

Good first job to get into the consulting world and gain experience. Some managers allow junior staff facetime with clients, however, some think junior staff are not capable of meeting clients in a professional environment.

Cons

The salary is extremely below average for the industry and the benefits at other companies are far superior. Duty First tends to treat their employees like children instead of trusting them to be adults. Be prepared to have to work long hours on some projects and have to explain your every minute on the clock. The culture is quite cliquey, and leadership tends to be ignorant of any issues even when brought to their attention. Leadership is unwilling to make changes that would improve the company in any way because it is too much effort for them.
