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.

Pros

● Opportunities for direct client interaction. ● Generally friendly and collegial work environment among peers. ● Exposure to a variety of workstreams and real-world client scenarios.

Cons

● Expectations and standards varied significantly across managers and task leads, leading to inconsistencies in how work was evaluated. ● Clarifying questions were not always addressed in a timely manner, especially when tasks had short turnaround times and minimal background. ● Deliverables were judged against expectations that were not clearly communicated, regardless of requests for clarification. ● Overall lack of structured guidance or documentation; requests for specific expectations or general guidelines were acknowledged but rarely fulfilled. ● Feedback was vague or reactive rather than instructional, making it difficult to course-correct. ● Limited mentorship or effort from leadership to support improvement and long-term success, including during formal performance reviews. ● Waves of onboarding junior-level staff led to obvious worsening of operational organization and increasing negligence in management.
