      Pros

      To be honest the view is the only thing I looked forward to as management is frazzled and not very helpful but instead are catty and send others to do their dirty work when they have something negative to say.

      Cons

      Lack of training. You only learn steps 3-5 of a process of 20 and not in the correct order either. You are furthermore reprimanded when you do the work incorrectly which is all they will ever get if not given the proper tools and and information. It seems like they don't want to be helpful even though they say ask a lot of questions-however when you do ask they don't have time and say follow the 3 steps you know (again which are not enough).

      Pros

      Healthy wages, but definitely on the lower end by international firm standards. Fairly good system support, and the brand name continues to attract generally capable employees.

      Cons

      Toxic politicking is condoned and even encouraged, and good associates are rewarded with more work while the below-average are tolerated for as long as they want - if they're cosy (e.g. smoking buddies) with the partners of the department.

      Pros

      -Full-time employees have access to health insurance -Desirable location in the Loop

      Cons

      -Sexism, racism, homophobia run rampant. Hostile work environment. Company does nothing -HR is great for the company, not for the employees it "serves"
