Daugherty Business Solutions Employee Reviews about "daugherty"

Pros

The organization is very consultant friendly and works to put their employees in good positions to succeed. They also promote training and professional improvement with their employees.

Cons

Success is dependent on the client’s environment, culture, and projects / initiatives. Daugherty typically does a good job at placing consultants at the right organization, however, that is not always the case.

Pros

Medical insurance was great, the $0 deductible was nice.

Cons

A lot of my cons have been mentioned here already, but it really feels like you're working for your client rather than Daugherty - if I wanted to work for a client, I would do it directly. This means you have to keep track of 2 emails, calendars, laptops, etc. PTO is a joke and added onto it; if your client (that you don't get to choose) has a holiday or the Daugherty office is "closed" you HAVE to use your PTO. So if you have a vacation or are sick, that counts against you, and you may have to go negative. Compensation is much lower than the industry average. Especially for the work you're doing and the number of hours per week they expect from you 40hrs at client + extra hours doing Daugherty learning. Even this far into the pandemic they refuse to embrace remote work. Most of the ERG events were halted and put on hold "until we get back in the office". Your manager is dependant on which client you're at. So you have to start over when you get a new client as well. Communication is terrible. I never knew I was being switched to a new client or team until the last day I was on that project. They want you to sell Daugherty as much as possible to the client, and clients always remark on how expensive Daugherty is. Yet your salary doesn't reflect that. Staff augmentation is exactly what they do. Especially at home depot. People will be there for years, yet still, work for Daugherty.

Pros

* Good health insurance. Health insurance is Anthem BCBS which is above average. There are quite a few exclusions when it comes to elective surgeries, even when medically neccesary, so while BCBS is pretty good you'll need to do your research to make sure it can support you and your families' needs. * Inclusive work environment. Daugherty is very inclusive when it comes to LGBTQ related topics. Especially in the Midwest where things can tend to be pretty socially conservative, if you're looking for an open and inclusive place Daugherty is not a bad choice. * Good pay. Daugherty pays a bit higher compared to other Midwest companies. Make sure to check your benefits though because they're higher on the pay side and lower on the benefits. Keep total compensation in mind.

Cons

* Exceptionally poor 401k. 3% match taking 6-7 years to become fully vested * PTO (starts at 18 days) is worse than it appears because you are required to take non Daugherty observed client holidays as your own PTO. For example, if you work at Client X and Client X closes between Christmas Eve and New Year's (8 days) you are required to take all 8 days as PTO. Assuming you want to vacation or take PTO as you please, you may end up with much less PTO at Daugherty than other companies. * You live and die by the clients. Daugherty itself is a nice enough place to work at with a decent culture. But ultimately, it just doesn't really matter. You're going to be fully augmented into one of their clients and as such the client's company culture is what matters, not Daugherty's. Assuming you just want to work your 40 hours a week and not do much in the way of unpaid overtime extra-curriculars, you won't ever interact with Daugherty.

Pros

Working at Daugherty is like being part of a huge family. From day one I felt welcomed and as part of the family. Not only that, but the benefits and PTO time are some of the best I've seen throughout my career. Most importantly, unlock many other consulting firms, Daugherty stands behind their employees even when the client has to make cuts due to financial issues.

Cons

Honestly, there is nothing I don't enjoy about working at Daugherty.

Pros

The company truly cares about all of their employees and all of their clients!

Cons

Trying to educate people who never heard of Daugherty on the East Coast.

Pros

Daugherty really tries to support employees' career growth. They pay well. The health insurance and dental premiums are SO LOW! (~$280 per month for a family with $20 copays). Daugherty colleagues are high performing. Most people really like management. Management does a great job of celebrating success.

Cons

Expect to work more than 40 hours a week. In addition to logging 40 billable hours every week, Daugherty has a lot of "extra curriculars" that you are strongly encouraged to do. Some clients suck. Some clients only care about delivering products on time without regard to quality, and DO NOT want you to consult (push for better solutions) while on a team. Your work environment is completely dependent on the client's work environment (unless you work out of the Daugherty office, which is unlikely) A majority of my client's team grew up in India, where it's common for people to work 10 hours a day every day. Since I don't do that it makes me look like I'm not as invested in the project as much. And when you're on an account, management is slow to move you. You may be the only Daugherty employee on your team. This sucks for me because I wanted to work with amazing coworkers and learn from them, but for the last 6 months I feel completely on an island.

Pros

Daugherty is a team-oriented work environment where each employee is valued as much as delivering excellence to their clients. Training and career growth are well supported through easy to access workshops and certification-based training programs. Management is supportive and transparent in assigning work and communicating status and opportunities. Recruiting and HR are responsible, and deliver exactly what they say they will. Overall, top notch organization!

Cons

Everyone works hard, smart, and in a collaborative manner. It is not a good place to work if you are not team-oriented, and/or you don't want to work hard and smart to achieve great results for both Daugherty and your client.

Pros

This is a great place to work for.

Cons

I have no cons with working for Daugherty.
