Pros

They sell only local projects which means you virtually never have to travel. They emphasize work life balance which allows you to limit your hours to 40-45 per week if you want. Entrepreneurial culture--if you have a good idea, they will back you. You can also choose to be on the Hourly rather than salary plan which means you'll get paid for every hour you work (or you can purposely lower your hours below 40/week and it's all good).

Cons

As with most consulting company, you work at the client site so it's very difficult to project what part of town you'll be working in.

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
