Pros

People are top notch and just plain fun and interesting. I feel supported at my client and pushed to deliver great results.

Cons

Internal folks are unaccounted for . Consultants work their fingers off only to find that a few internal folks are paid 40 hours a week but don't work it yet are still reaping the benefits of the worker bees. Let's live up to "Always do Right." Sign-me up for full time pay where working part time is acceptable. It's discouraging and makes me seek the smaller leaner firms. Would hate to leave but I don't want my pay to be funding unproductive overhead. Oh, are we really employee owned....I am an employee and don't see ownership.

Pros

•There is an impressive budget, especially for high-level events, ancillary experiences, client giveaways, and premium swag. Management does not hesitate to fund top-notch brand experiences when needed. •The company offers a highly competitive benefits and perks package that remains a strong selling point.

Cons

•The "fiercely human" core value does not match daily operations. Collaboration is routinely replaced by a self-service model of training videos and help articles. •These recurring shifts are designed to manufacture the appearance of fiscal stability for the benefit of external stakeholders and clients, while leaving core operational deficits unaddressed. •Organizational maturity is low. Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
