Business outlook
Pros
Salary, resume builder, experiences. Great view of different companies and industries. Had the opportunity to meet with and interact daily with executives from various Fortune 500 companies. The challenge is enormous, but the skill development opportunities are amazing. The competitiveness engulfs you on a daily basis, and there is even a little bit of fear in the accountability and workload presented for top performers. Sales skills are a necessity.
Cons
work balance is horrid. Internal competitiveness is extreme. Travel is nearly 100%. Management does not spend time with Associates and Senior Associates, and there is a great deal of favoritism in the firm. Turnover is high, which is not necessarily a bad thing.
