NOW CFO reviews

The biggest downside of this company is they don't let you grow outside of your job title. It's upsetting because they don't let you expand, grow, or even bring good ideas to the table especially in the Marketing Department. This particular department (in the Corporate office) is a hard place to work in.

- Sometimes if the partner is having a bad day, the consultants will have one too, effecting the work environment and employee morale. - Needs to improve its brand identity, it badly conflicts with its name (more about this in "Advice to Management" below) - Lack of proper screening of clients - some of them are either too small for us to get steady work from and/or may not be able to afford to pay our fees on an ongoing basis as well as those who appear to display questionable business ethics. - Should reconsider the need to either reimburse mileage or otherwise find a way to bill clients/compensate consultants for excessive drive times to and from client sites, especially in major metropolitan cities (San Francisco, Houston, L.A., Phoenix, etc.). With some drive times taking 90 minutes or more just within the city, If consultants are driving, that is time lost that could be spent doing billable work, why should the consultant be penalized for being stuck in traffic? - No employee morale-building events - In my local NOW CFO office, fellow employees never got together for a staff dinner, holiday office party, random social outing, or even an out-of-office "CPE Day". We just worked to amass billable time for our clients and that was it. - My biggest "Con" was that partners tended to put the pursuit of dollars over the well-being of their staff, and that severely undermined my work morale.
