Pros
Work Life Balance - 4 weeks of paid time off to start, management encourages you to take it when you're not busy
Defined Career Path - Promotions take place at regular intervals, if you can the experience you will be promoted, it is unheard of for someone to not be promoted within 2-4 years.
Cons
As part of a public company, Protiviti makes knee jerk reactions when earnings aren't met including layoffs, salary cuts and benefit reductions.
Seasonal work - during the latter half of the year, everyone is pushed to put in many hours and do extra work, management does not adjust capacity accordingly
Advice to Senior Management
Trust local office managers to make more decisions regarding, hiring and compensation. Don't be overly conservative with spending when financial results aren't met

i guess this is what happens when you throw meritocracy out the door and promote individuals based on tenure. while that may be great for the morons who still have a job, it is things like this that have caused scores of clients to leave protiviti (including some big 'cash cow' status ones) resulting in HUGE declines in revenues.
Inappropriate?
