Pros

Salary isn’t bad if you’re client services but peanuts if you’re a specialist

Cons

Micromanagement from every single level, 0 trust, 0 flexibility, managers aren’t trained to manage and they will let practically anyone be a quote on quote manager. Bullying is rife, loads of cliques and overall just a horrible work environment. No one that you can look up to, everyone who’s there a while ends up losing any level of empathy and it doesn’t seem to come from HR either. Turnover is horrific in every division, even within the recruiting and HR team everyone seems to leave.

Cons

Work and day can be tedious and feel repetitive, you must like talking to people all day, every day The hurdle performance tracking can be stressful for younger Associates Increasingly tighter competition as clients seek to find cheaper alternatives Exit opportunities can feel limited to account management/customer success work
