Dan Donovan
Current Employee – been working at Beecher Carlson full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – People we work with are great
Cons – Lack of information from management about everything leaves you speculating about everything. "Bonuses" do not exist and there is no talk of why or when they might exist.
Advice to Senior Management – Communicate more, and try stick to what you say to some degree. Quarterly conference calls with the entire company are not useful, they are a waste of time and almost demoralizing. Award those that deserve it. Not everyone is a producer in this company, but they appear to be the only ones that matter.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at Beecher Carlson
Pros – Liberal time off policy. You will really appreciate your next job!
Cons – Weak management at the executive level which naturally permeates through the entire organization. Old boy network, cronyism and "might makes right" mentality.
Advice to Senior Management – Previous reviewer said it best, lead by example. Stop turning a blind eye to poor ethics and misconduct within the executive ranks. Stop stuffing your pockets at others expense.

Current Employee – been working at Beecher Carlson
Pros – Very liberal with hours worked and time off requests
Cons – Poor management and poor leadership.
Pay is substandard. The managers make a lot of money, but they don't sell. Yet, they push you to sell more and they are never happy, even when you kick butt in a month.
Avoid working here if at all possible.
Advice to Senior Management – Pay the producers more. Implement profit sharing. Quit leading from the rear and lead by example. Management thru fear and intimidation is not productive.

Advice to Senior Management – Everyone knows you are all talk with no ability.

Pros – Beecher has attracted some of the best people in the industry - great coworkers. Well known, high profile clients - lots of client interaction.
