Pros

Smart and competent junior staff. In fact, most consultants in practice are good, but principals are lacking many skill sets. Flexibility in taking time off.

Cons

"Team" Leaders are lacking professionalism, work ethic, industry knowledge, business sense and a social skill set. No real opportunity for growth in the near future. High Turnover in H&B department Unfair promotion structure. Stagnant group to work in for awhile.

Pros

Many very talented and smart colleagues, global strength and great client base. Good brand name and breadth of services. Staff want to do the right thing by each other and clients.

Cons

Senior management will not make the effort to attract and retain the best talent. Compensation too low and metrics are demotivating. Compensation elements and forced ranking for rating, pay and bonus promotes selfish behavior and is damaging team work. Company does not adequately reward top performers. Losing ground against competitors while senior management sits passively. Company loyalty has been eroded by management style and decisions - many staff waiting for an improved economy so they can leave.
