Poor leadership in the consulting division. As others have mentioned here, Vice Presidents only care about themselves and their salaries while they should be focused on actually building and motivating a team. At least 50% of the Directors have left in the past year because of poor leadership from Vice Presidents. The salaries are way below market rate. Many of the team leaders really have no clue what teamwork is about and do very little except delegate an inordinate amount of work on others. There is no consistency across teams so your experience is largely dictated by the account you're on and the leadership you're under. Read the other posts about the poor leadership as this is very true - most of the VPs only care about advancing their careers and don't have a clue how to build a team. Some accounts are led better than others but there seems to be this pervasive and arrogant mentality that any issues on a team are because of the managers and directors without looking at the Vice Presidents. To really address the issues, senior leadership would have to look at itself and based on my experience that will never happen. Leadership would rather blame others than themselves. The change has to begin at the senior level because there is gross incompetence, no team unity, poor direction and absent leadership.

minimal training, even for entry-level toxic culture (very cliquey without explanation of workplace culture and expectations) lack of organization from management very low pay (for industry) upper management does not prioritize training or fixing problems high turnover clear favoritism unrealistic workload - everything gets delegated teams point fingers at each other internally instead of assessing and remedying systems. little to no workflows developed between teams - very much a "this is just how we do it" mentality. unclear promises of promotion lots of talk about how much revenue comes in but rarely does that trickle down to entry and mid-level staff
