Pros

Competitive salary, good benefits. The majority of co-workers are friendly and work together to accomplish the task. Very interesting work and clients.

Cons

Current office culture consists of only white male partners with little concern for female advancement or work life balance. The females are not invited to the majority of the BD opportunities or potential client meetings due to client responsibilities. The office currently has no African American employees. The television in the lobby is kept tuned to Fox News at all times. Old boys network.

This is an important set of perceptions. We encourage our people through advisors and HR professionals to "speak up" to always elevate our commitment to an inclusive world class people environment and be part of making us the best place to work. Our commitment to diversity is demonstrated throughout our recruiting and retention strategies but always we would like more representation by a more diverse pool of talent. Our women's inclusion programs also (now nearly 15 years in!) provide support and advice for the advancement of women. We're proud of tremendous survey results from our Columbus team, but would like the opportunity to address any challenges faced by the minority of those who aren't feeling they are thriving.

Pros

Consultants were not overworked, and people are generally staying in their own lane. Strong knowlegeable teammates and lots of internal resources to grow. Work life balance was good.

Cons

I left during a time of transition, since the top practice director retired and the EBA leader took over as interim leader. This interim guy seemed to be waiting for something to take any action with current resources, and he was not too interested in rallying or figuring things out as a team. If he had expectations, they were never communicated to me. The lack of clarity was very challenging for me personally, and it came off as a lack of support. I think others in the team probably feel similarly.
