Pros
- Lots of responsibility at a young age: At just 21 months in, associates have the opportunity to run their own projects and manage a small team.
- Continuing education: Lots of periodic training seminars regarding all things healthcare, but also a good amount of leadership development provided by professors from Berkely and UNC.
- Fun, youthful corporate culture: The average Triage is just a few years out of school, so there is always interest in planning fun activities outside of the office (happy hours, sporting events, etc).
- Genuine emphasis on corporate social responsibility: Triage provides associates the opportunity to go out and volunteer in the community a few days a year, and there are always charity, donation and recycling drives going on that bring associates together.
- Work/Life Balance: Working 45 - 50 hour weeks is unheard of at most other consulting firms, but Triage provides just that while still offering generous vacation (starting at 4 weeks/yr) and fair pay.
Cons
- Niche market: Some associates worry that skills learned at Triage are not as transferrable to other jobs since we work in a niche market.
- Political environment: When it comes to leadership opportunities and promotions, politics can play a role (but what company doesn't practice politics?)
- All homegrown managers: Nearly 100% of the management team at Triage was hired straight out of school and has never worked elsewhere. While this makes them experts in our niche business market, this also means that they sometimes lack more broad business exposure. Maybe subsidized MBAs would help reduce this worry?
