Pros

The pay is ok, although the starting rate went down since I've started. The benefits are good - 100% coverage in a lot of areas and you can coordinate your benefits with a spouse to increase coverage. One good thing is that Accenture covers adult orthodontics, whereas most places don't. The people are good there - I have a lot of good friends and wouldn't change that. The shift bidding process is excellent. It's not based just on seniority, but on job performance. That way, if someone who has been there years longer than me is performing very poorly, I still have a chance at a better shift as long as I do well.

Cons

You won't get a promotion unless you are a smoker. Managers are so phony. You have to be a robot to succeed. Those with families need not apply. I begged and pleaded to get a day off to go to my son's Christmas concert and they wouldn't give me the day off. I agreed to take it unpaid or use one of my vacation days. I ended up calling in sick, but I was so scared to go that I stayed home. I'll never forgive them for my missing that. Also, I had 3 meetings about that sick day and was called a liar by my TM.

Pros

There are a lot of pros working for Accenutre. They have great career opportunities, a never ending supply of interesting work, competitive compensation, wonderful benefits, great people, wonderful training programs, a tremendous number of brilliant professionals in their fields ready to help, and great core values.

Cons

This is not an opportunity for those that do not want to work. At Accenture everyone has a load of work to do and often times under very tight customer time lines. It is a challenge that I enjoy but many might find it stressful.
