Pros

Nothing, except for the sympathy you feel for your fellow co-workers.

Cons

Everything. This is the worst company I have ever worked for. Dishonest in their communication with you and customers. During the interview they will tell you, you will only have 3-4 clients. When they hire you, you are assigned 8-19 clients. There is no training, you will get a client the first day you start. No one helps, everyone is overwhelmed and depressed. Their turnover rate is so high there will be a change in resources at least 4-5 times in a 3 months span. Bonuses are non-existent; however, you will be harassed on a daily basis to meet a goal you were never told about. They will force you to travel and work on weekends (yes, 3 AM on a Sunday, just because they said so). There is NO work/life balance. There are no raises, no bonuses, no communication, just threats and broken promises. I have been as gentle and diplomatic as I could in this response without saying "Run or you WILL regret it the first week you start working there". Keep your integrity, find another job. Don't believe these "positive" posts. And Amanda is NOT the CEO. The employees don't know who the CEO is, that is how poor the communication is.

Pros

Coworkers, all of my team members are really smart and committed to final results. There’s little to none of “red tape” or “bureaucracy” that make day to day work annoying. Work/Life Balance, while at times there’s difficult days (typical consulting) I believe this firm cares more about your personal life than the average.

Cons

Communication about company policy, with being a small and growing organization, policy is constantly changing, which is fine. However, the communication of policy is difficult and not often communicated across the org well.

Pros

Great coworkers who are hardworking

Cons

Turnover continues to increase and top talent leaving due to stress and management. Management is not engaged and mostly ignore you. Partners are obviously walking away and only concerned with profits regardless the cost.

Thank you for providing your feedback. While this past year has been extremely challenging and disruptive for everyone, we managed to not furlough any employees while at the same time providing much-needed resources for our customers to continue to run their operations. We have also put in place some structural and leadership changes to help address some of the pains that come from growing a business. We wish you all the best in your career and thank you for the contributions
