Navigant Reviews

Cons

Often times over-utilized (too much work, not enough time). Which is a good problem to have - the extra work/demand was recognized in bonuses/promotions, etc.

Cons

Wish that we had same holiday schedule and policies as the Navigant consulting side.

Cons

Utilization expectations are much higher than comparable firms. Essentially anyone at the Associate Director level or below is expected to be utilized 100% of the time while taking on greater responsibilities in the areas of practice development, sales, and leading internal initiatives.

This leads to burn out among the Managing Consultant / Associate Director group as they have to work long nights and weekends to keep up with all internal and client demands.

Cons

Self advocacy is key! Senior employees who are managers are not always leaders

Cons

Punitive culture, poor life work balance in performance excellence practice

Cons

You're given the respect to work independently but towards the end of my time there they hired a couple of new billing supervisors who, you guessed it, micro managed EVERYTHING. However there was a lot of pressure on them to hit certain targets and that pressure trickles down.

Cons

Treat their employees with no respect at all

Cons

Employee morale is low; they are overworked/overutilized and there is extremely high turnover, including within the senior leadership team.
 Employees are mistreated, called out in front of other people during meetings. There is a tone across the organization creating a negative work environment that most human beings cannot stay in for the long term.

Cons

Highly political and variable treatment of staff

Cons

Drama. Disorganized. Last year they laid people off. Management is overloaded with work and gives work to other reps. You can't go to HR for anything because they will take the supervisor's side. Not to mention that some projects are very disorganized. One person tells you one thing and another one tells you something totally different. Starting pay is great but don't expect to ever get a great raise here. If you want to move to the insurance department you have to get an interview first and it's considered a lateral move to them. You would figure they would pay you more, but they don't. You get trained for the main system the company uses but once you get out on the floor it's a totally different story. Seems like they only care about the amount of money you collect. Hence, this is not a collection agency. They do no offer bonuses for collecting money. You're not allowed to eat on the floor because they found a rat once. You're not allowed to have your cell phone out on the floor as well. Yet, management is always doing both of these things. They get on to you about productivity if you don't meet their "expectations" yet, there's some days where you prob get 30 calls a day. They have leads as well to help out, most of them were helpful with the exception of a few that are very unprofessional and will make faces when you ask for assistance and are very rude about helping you with someone.
