Pros
- Peers: I loved my peers at Root Cause - they were (all of left!) the most dedicated, committed, smart, passionate group of people. They were the only reason why I was able to stay at Root Cause for as long as I did. - Client: we did some great work with some great clients, especially in youth development and education and criminal justice. - Training: despite all the cons, you do get good training for consulting.
Cons
- Toxic work culture that mentally drains you. - Lack of functional leadership team that permeates every facet of the organization. - If you are a junior staff, you do all the work; the senior staff does no work. This makes the work-life balance totally off and you are constantly working, and that is the expectation.
