Pros

Lots of experience working with multiple managers (because you will have two primary managers per client, and you'll have about eight clients as an AC) Lots of experience working on multiple projects

Cons

Each manager has their own way of doing things, their own writing preferences and their own expectations. Each manager is entirely different and you will never be able to figure out what is the "right way" to do a task because nothing is similar As an AC, you will rarely see a project through from start to finish and often only receive the "URGENT" tasks without background or context Management thinks everything is urgent and you are not allowed to leave your desk from 7-7, you're always on standby. You will not have time to take lunch because no one respects you enough to let you do that The work-life balance is so bad that you literally feel like you have to always be available, even if you are not working that day or you have a client event Rarely do you hear a thank you from higher ups CEO says he is upset people do not "want to work" but employees go on stress leave or quit because they are literally OVER worked The turnover rate is the highest I've ever heard of. If you're an AC, good luck staying past a year to see your yearly raise. If you have been there for over a year, you'll be fighting for a promotion and they will ask you to do the work without the raise Favouritism. Some members are allowed extra vacation and extra sick days without question, but other employees get yelled at once they have reached their max sick days or ask to take vacation when they feel is inconvenient You will feel like a working machine and nothing beyond that. They will not care about your mental health, your work-life balance or anything in between. They just want you to work and get the job done at any cost CEO says benefits cover an adequate amount for therapy but it is only $1,000 which does not even cover one session a month Win awards for EDI and best place to work but junior staff never see these practices put into place. Staff mentioned the lack of diversity and inclusion but did not see any new practices put into place Junior roles are paid 10-20K more elsewhere Once a team member is let go, they immediately email employees to say, "don't worry, we have hired someone else" which makes everyone feel undervalued and like we mean nothing to them. Quick turnover and quick disrespect
