Pros

I have a flexible work schedule and am easily able to speak with my supervisors about scheduling conflicts or time off needs. Our local office promotes a fairly decent work environment and supports a work/life balance. Pay is competitive within the industry.

Cons

Work and deadlines can be demanding. Remaining billable can often be a challenge, but that's the case in any consulting industry. The higher level and corporate structure is not always very transparent or easy to understand from a lower or mid-level position.

Pros

Plenty of professional development opportunities - only if you’re in good with the director. Regional staff and technical teams are great, but the marketing department is toxic. Decent benefits.

Cons

The establish processes are inflexible and if you don’t follow procedure, you’ll quickly find yourself on PIP. The director is a little unhinged and you’ll need to suck up. Most people don’t make it to two years so there is high turn over. The bottom line is always the biggest factor and if they feel that overhead is too high, any perks are eliminated. Since all employees are remote, if you don’t live near an office, you’ll find yourself at a huge disadvantage professionally - zero face time with any leadership. Prepare to find busy work, all time is recorded in 15 minute intervals which is overkill for overhead roles.
