Pros

Good pay/ commission Good office banter

Cons

Terrible management- awful management style, unmotivating, unrealistic expectations. Hierachy between senior managers and other staff- "us and them" culture All KPI driven- care more about whether you're hitting your target than whether you're actually providing clients with a decent service. Tar each consultant (whether billing a lot or not) with the same brush Hire and fire culture Long hours Unappreciative of hard work Unflexible- time off sick is almost not allowed Too many office politics Staff are not valued at all, as soon as you're not hitting your targets your got rid of. I wasn't persoanlly but saw it happen to other people
