Pros

Flexible Hours, Ability to Work Remotely

Cons

Hours, Pay, Unethical Colleagues, Client Data Breach: I have many episodes of working 48 hours with no sleep. Leaving the office, working through the night on my computer and watching the sun come up only to head back into the office with no sleep. Ive had my ma Agee’s present my work (my innovation) as their own. I’ve had peers present my work (internally and externally) as their own with no acknowledgement to me. I’ve notified management of this severely unethical behavior and the end result was that no one cared. My colleague was promoted eventually. I’ve discovered that a Director and Partner submitted invoices from Client ABC to the IRS for a refund claim related to Client XYZ. This is a clear data breach. Instead of taking proper steps, it was all hush-hush and they simply remove the invoices from the data portal and never took proper steps to notify the client or the IRS. I’ve alerted the the President (D. Chronis) to many unethical behaviors, which he acknowledged observing, and yet did nothing to stop or to remedy. I am still at the firm waiting to get paid my bonus on projects I co pelted years ago. When bouses allocation comes, there is massive cronyism in the the Partner will cut in his friends into the bonus pool even though that friend had little to no work on the engagement. I will leave the firm once I receive my payout for my last engagements. I’ve listened through the very thin walls to manager level people trash talk other managers, not because that managers’s work is an issue, but because it is a strategy to jockey himself into position for a higher bonus. This place is a true nightmare and the majority of the positive reviews on here are fake. This firm only grows through acquisition, not through organic growth. Basically, they buy up smaller firms, that’s it. This will be the worst career move of your life, unless you can throw your ethics out the door and operate like the backstabbing sharks do where you succeed by stealing ideas and focusing on trashing the person next to you.

Pros

Culture is great amongst principle and executive team members. The work is not difficult if you have prior experience in property tax. Benefits are good. Great promotion track if you are willing to play the politics.

Cons

Political environment. Senior Consultants do not mind throwing newer people under the bus for their mistakes. Boundaries are not respected. You are expected to know everything with no real formal training, they do provide some training for the first few weeks but then it drops off and everything needs to be self taught. Management has favorites and you will know instantly.
