Pros

Good stepping stone right out of college, beyond that, absolutely nothing

Cons

Where do I even start... The upper management is a festering cess pool of incompetent fools. I have seen some of the most unprofessional behavior from them. This is my second career, so I have seen what proper professional corporate behavior is supposed to look like. I wondered how my Director had stayed for over 8 years in the same role, well it was very apparent after a couple of weeks. She's just good at bullshitting. She doesn't actually understand any of the logistics of the job. Is completely inept at being able to TEACH any of the employees assigned to her. And is so passive aggressive about every single thing she does you can not trust her at all. I ended up coming down with depression and showed symptoms of PTSD after dealing with the insidious nature of this company. You always feel like you have a target on your back for the smallest things. There is NO collaboration that happens. It's all "everyone is out for themselves" You don't do any real legitimate work either. It's all such utter nonsense. It makes you want to run to the client and tell them to stop wasting their money! Worst of all, teams are ALWAYS understaffed so you end up working far more hours, late late late into the night. All the while we are given "free food" from clients and vendors which mainly consists of carbs and sugar and sugar carbs. So everyone ends up with health issues. Upper management is always so focused on the next pitch they fail to manage the CURRENT clients they have, leave their teams floundering and without any direction and then wonder why there is such high turnover. HINT: If you have HIGH turnover on a team it's a SURE FIRE SIGN the management is to blame. NOT the associates! My team completely turned over in 2 months! Run as far as you can. It is not worth the stress, depression and weight gain!! Worst of all, the pay is absolute crap. Not worth it AT ALL.
