Pros

Lower level staff is as talented as I have ever seen. Management is toxic.

Cons

To many to list. You are not valued.

Pros

-Nice office -Nice hand sanitizer dispenser -Nice water dispenser (with ice) -Nice K-cup machine (adjustable volume based on how strong you want your coffee) -Great hardworking coworkers!! -Flexibility of working from home. It's nice when you have to take care of your kids. -Cool project experience with clients across different sectors.

Cons

-Almost zero training opportunity for staff because management only cares about short term profits than investing in their staff. -ERM Academy is a joke (a series of online courses with fake business photos and useless material). -You are treated only as a number. Your UB is EVERYTHING. -Unreasonably high UB target (and a very high multiplier). -No one I worked with enjoys/enjoyed working there. -Extremely high turnover (talented consultants join competitors/industry that pay a lot better for the same work) -Extremely top heavy (# of staff= # of Partners, at least where I worked) -Low office morale/energy. -Low pay -Incompetent HR (or maybe they are too busy interviewing replacement candidates all the time?)

I understand the high turnover rate

Pros

Good vacation even if you're starting out new. Never had trouble getting some time off or rearranging a day to go to an appointment (i.e. dentist). Benefits are good and pay is decent if a little under what industry should be if you have more education. My coworkers in the field were always easy to work with.

Cons

NO BILLABLE WORK! I was hired for a position that had at most 25 hrs of billable work each week with a few exceptions (doesn't exactly fit the description of "full time"). I am continually told to ask for work within the office and always hear the same answer: nothing this week or nothing you can help with. Then I am continually sent emails chastizing me for my terrible billability. There are only so many times every week I can volunteer to do literally any billable work and be told I'm out of luck. The few things that I get to do are not related to what I was hired for. It is incredibly discouraging to want to work, be willing to put in the time and effort, and be unable to do so. I am looking for a new job elsewhere as soon as I can. I'm even willing to take a pay cut if it means I can find a job that will allow me to work. If you want to have work at ERM, get into auditing or compliance or be the only field position in your office. On a final note, I fail to see the point ot annual reviews if no incentive is given to work harder or better each year. Give me all 1s or all 5s and I'll still be given the mandatory 1-2% raise, at best. More senior level managers who are plainly awful at their jobs seem to enjoy overtime and bonuses regardless of their shoddy work and lost contracts.
