Pros

Pay isn’t that bad, decent benefits. Work life balance is really good for a consultancy.

Cons

Going through changes and a massive reorg. These are always difficult but some how a consultant firm that does this for other businesses absolutely botched this. The deadline has moved a ton and there still isn’t a holistic clear picture of how this is going to work. This is the right move to go from a “franchise” business model to a real national one, but there is still so much that needs to be changed. From staffing, employee metrics, standardized SOWs, org wide best practices for each practice. Also stop letting locations opt in or out of this, this should not be optional based on location.

Pros

people are very kind and its a great network to then have for life

Cons

I had 5 managers in 4 years, 3 of which promised me a promotion which I never got I was strung along in a seperate global team for a year and a half and then when I finally was moved to that group they fired 80% of us it's now an up or out company and people are leaving faster than business is coming in, that's been happening for 2 yrs my mental health was so bad i had two burnouts in a single year my last manager emotionally abused me and made me feel like i was a terrible person. I left believing that was why I was fired until i chatted with another former employee of this manager work life balance WAS a thing and in the last two years it's now that consultants are also responsible for selling, travel is a non-negotiable but expectations for travel are not transparent and can impact your yearly review, straight up not enough work and then senior management will make you feel bad for it
