Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI have been working at Eames Consulting Group full-time for more than a year
Pros
Investing in systems such as phones and CRM Great culture for socials mingling Given the freedom to operate as you want- useful if you're already an expert
Cons
They put the wrong people into management positions- good billers don't always become good managers No clear progression path or consistant framework on how to opperate Many people have be wrongged on thier comission. It's true they have a market leading comission structure but theres also a line in the contract to say "comission is completely discressionary" they will play with that as they see fit.

Thank you for taking the trouble to post a review. I’m pleased that you have identified several positives such as the multitude of investments Eames is making. This goes beyond providing the latest technology to Consultants – as you point out our Salesforce CRM and a recent switch to 8x8 communications platform are just two such examples. We have invested heavily in training and hiring, expanded our marketing team and look to provide a competitive benefits package including generous incentives, staff socials and, as you correctly say, very good commission schemes. On the latter, the only discretion we have ever applied to the payment of commission is if a Consultant has resigned in advance. One of Eames’s values is integrity and I will stake my reputation on the fact that every commission payment (or any other contractual benefit) made to a colleague is honoured wholly in line with their offer letter and contract of employment. I can assure you there has been absolutely no movement of the goalposts in this instance. Eames does indeed have flexibility within its framework of working but I wouldn’t term this as ‘freedom to operate as you want’ although clearly more experienced consultants are given greater latitude than early career Consultants. Otherwise, a certain amount of structure does exist including discipline around the use of the system which sets us all up for greater success. I wish you every success in your future career. Regards Guy Day Chief Executive

Thank you for your review. Eames does try to empower its people via ‘flexibility within a framework’ but I certainly wouldn’t say that Consultants are ‘left to get on with things’. We do measure output but also the quality of that output since there is a very clear correlation to financial results. The term KPI has in some respects become a negative in our industry but if used correctly then it focuses Consultants on the behaviours and actions that drive success. Our expectations are high but we have a very well defined ‘What good looks like’ framework which is used up, down and across the firm. Concessions are made for new starters and new business lines so we’re comfortable that we are realistic and provide the support for individuals to excel. I would argue that your reference to favouritism is highly subjective and I can only give you the assurance that every Eames employee in my experience is managed consistently as we want everyone we hire to become successful. I wish you every success in your future career. Regards Guy Day Chief Executive
