Pros

Exciting assignments and diverse industries, lots of travel, work with some smart people. Specialized in turnarounds and restructurings only

Cons

Benefits package below average for industry. Business inefficient, mismanagement from top down. Can't manage their own business well. Employees encouraged to let businesses go into bankruptcy vs saving them to increase revenues to Alix Partners. Directors inflate billing hours, while cutting hours of lower level employees and contract personnel, but expected to throw in nonbillable hours. Lower level employees and contract employees treated with disrespect, long hours, pressured to provide nonbillable hours. Concentration of arrogant, condescending employees to newer hires and clients. More restructuring work than actual turnarounds being done. Many employees with accounting background who never owned or operated businesses, causing problems with completing turnarounds

Pros

- Compensation is good - Higher fees typically mean you're doing more high level work (i.e., not long boring implementations) - In P&T you don't have to live near an office, just near an airport - For the most part, weekends are respected - For the most part, everyone at the firm is smart and hardworking, the few exceptions typically get weeded out eventually

Cons

- High degree of variability in travel, weekend work, etc. across the firm - you need to find the good managers to work for - Like all consulting, when work gets busy your personal life is expected to take a back seat
