Pros

Other consultants are nice, Paid mileage to the airport. however, NO monthly car allowance , NO gas. its all on you.

Cons

Upper management are no where to be found. You are just a pawn in their game. You work your butt off, travel every week. They will tell you that you have a territory but it turns out it will be the entire USA. That's right your territory is all USA. You will be sick of seeing the suitcase. excessive meetings about meetings. Consultants do half the project managers work ??? You will be at the site 2 weeks in a row. 1 week education and the other week of go live. PM shows up in the beginning and leaves when its convenient for them. When your done teaching for the day and you go back to your hotel. Well its not time to rest, its time to open the computer and start doing a couple hrs of work each night for future accounts- again doing alot of the PM's work. Not sure how upper management thinks this is normal. I guess out of site out of mind??? way to ignore issues. If you happen to sell additional modules because you are also sales support, you dont get a dime!! but who does , the sales person that's not even on site. Absolutely no incentive!! Dont even think about climbing the ladder, it wont happen. I have been here for a while and I only seen a couple people in the system move to Senior consultant and thats after they have you doing a TON of FREE extra work well above the 50 hrs of work/week you do. Excessive emails t/o the day and a lot of the emails are about how upper management advancing. DONT send me any more emails about LGBTQ - just ridiculous it shouldn't be a part of work emails. This is supposed to be a large and professional company. Lets keep your sexuality preference out of it!!! If you have a family , think long and hard!!! you WILL NOT SEE THEM. 5-6 days of travel every week. They will tell you less but NOT being truthful. They pull you in then your stuck. My kids are grown however I dont get to see my spouse that often. Currently looking for a new position to prevent a divorce.

Pros

Campuses are nice and they encourage telework.

Cons

They have acquired several companies over the last few years but they don't integrate these new companies or employees well. Make it a pain to try and get answers to Employee questions because you have to go thru several locations just to get an answer and not even the correct one most of the time. They use antiquated systems and it takes forever for newly acquired companies to be fully integrated in. Multiple policies, because streamlining is not their strong suit.

Pros

There are no pros to working with this company

Cons

1. Severly Underpaid 2. Excessive mandatory overtime 3. No work life balance 4. Manipulative management 5. Very little chances of moving up in the company 6. Not a place for people with college degrees, they will tell you so in a daily basis 7. Very toxic work environment, going to management or a supervisor and expressing these feelings will not change anything. Inappropriate things that happen in the workplace are often ignored and left alone. 8. Tiny and filthy lab and office 9. No personal office space. 10. Access to training records and SOP document is nearly impossible.
