Pros

Lucrative incentive plan. Great co-workers. A good work environment. People have fun and hang out away from the office. They tend to listen to employees and take their suggestions seriously. Whether they act on them or not is, of course, another story.

Cons

One of the biggest problems I've found at SWC is that employees don't get much recognition for a job well done. Sure the monthly (usually) employee of the month is handed out, but when someone continues to exceed expectations, they rarely will be rewarded. If you always are that good - then that's just what you do... not some outstanding achievement. Management has been known to say things like "don't let him know how good he is..." Perhaps in a joking fashion, but most jokes like that are typically rooted in truth.

Pros

Consultants were not overworked, and people are generally staying in their own lane. Strong knowlegeable teammates and lots of internal resources to grow. Work life balance was good.

Cons

I left during a time of transition, since the top practice director retired and the EBA leader took over as interim leader. This interim guy seemed to be waiting for something to take any action with current resources, and he was not too interested in rallying or figuring things out as a team. If he had expectations, they were never communicated to me. The lack of clarity was very challenging for me personally, and it came off as a lack of support. I think others in the team probably feel similarly.
