Pros

Good coworkers. Young work force. You get to learn the basics of the investment consulting industry, but nothing in-depth. That's about it.

Cons

1. Analyst pay is well below industry average. Higher up consultant pay is above industry average. 2. Work load is not evenly distributed. Pay is not merit based. 3. You do not get incentive for taking on extra projects. 4. Poor management. 5. CEO and a lot of higher up consultants don't even work in the office. 6. Weird tension and vibe between "higher ups". 7. A few consultants don't respect analysts enough. Bad internal communication. 8. A few higher ups don't appreciate people's work. 9. Some meetings and action items are unnecessary. 10. Extremely high turnover. Constant staffing crisis. 11. Hard to get promoted. 12. Year end bonus is a joke. 13. Long hours during reporting season with no extra compensation.

Pros

Good place to start if you’re looking to get into finance after college. They have great onboarding which teaches you great skills such as communicating internally and externally, organization and time management. Do not stay here longer than you need though. Get to be a senior analyst and then apply to other jobs. The pay will barely increase the next few years even when promotions come. Great for your resume but the smart people get in an get out

Cons

PMA department head is extremely hard to work for/with. The work is extremely repetitive and boring. Bad pay. Some people are good to work with and some are terrible. It’s the luck of the draw for what clients teams you get put on. They require you to do RVK academy which is 2 hours a week and requires homework sometimes, it’s just as bad as it sounds.
