Pros

Nice people, decent work life balance. Great roster of clients, but shrinking every month by leaps and bounds.

Cons

This week marks the third anniversary of Buck as a stand alone firm and by any measure we are much worst than three years ago. Compensation is down, morale is down, people are leaving in droves, and the current year performance is estimated to be more of the same. The leadership has no one to blame but themselves. They habitually confuse activity for results and reward those who bow to the CEO versus drive real results. It is a shame, there was much high hopes for this 100 year old firm. I fear for its future.

Pros

Set hours, pay is decent, you sit at your desk all day and answer calls

Cons

Very similar to being a debt collector, not many people want to talk to you and if they do, they’re usually mad or frustrated. You’re the middle person and at the mercy of others having the answers you need. Very demanding job, with little to no recognition or respect for a work/life balance.
