Pros

1) Intelligent and committed employees. 2) More ethical than some competitor companies.

Cons

1) Constant IT problems. 2) Failure to invest in support staff leads to client facing staff being swapped with general admin and billing tasks. 3) Generally uninspiring leadership with a hardwired “austerity mindset”; cost control is worse than it’s ever been. 4) Lack of employee engagement, wellness, CSR or diversity/inclusion initiatives. 5) Poor base salary, poor bonus (likely to be worse at the next round than any of the Xerox or Conduent years!) and laughably stingy so-called incentive programs. 6) Unrealistic expectations around the level of new business that consultants can generate from their own networks. If it was that easy many of us would’ve set up on our own!

Pros

Set hours, pay is decent, you sit at your desk all day and answer calls

Cons

Very similar to being a debt collector, not many people want to talk to you and if they do, they’re usually mad or frustrated. You’re the middle person and at the mercy of others having the answers you need. Very demanding job, with little to no recognition or respect for a work/life balance.
