Pros
Opportunity to build teams and programs
Cons
So many cons - but here are the highlights:
1. Owner is unable to set strategy and execute a plan against it. After two weeks, if he isn’t satisfied, there is a new strategy.
2. Owner has 0 employee love. He has created a toxic work environment where everyone is on pins and needles afraid to be fired. This is a really small company too, so letting off 3 people is like 10% of the workforce.
3. Owner refuses to spend money. So cheap he refused to purchase polo shirts for the consultants. Refused to purchase swag for customer appreciation.
4. Everyone is replaceable. On a whim. There is no progressive discipline, no discussions - you could be at 100% utilization and simply look at the owner the wrong way and you are fired.
5. Finally - while the attractive title might allure some, to say this place is a hot mess is an understatement. Respect, dignity, integrity, professionalism - none modeled by the owner and leaders. They cut costs as the wind blows - the only long term strategy is to sell the company.
There are so many better companies to patterned with. Choose wisely - don’t choose this one. Benefits are terrible. Good luck taking a vacation if you are a consultant.
