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

Decent work-life balance, especially with lack of work Better than average salary Great administrative and IT support; one of the best I've experienced in my 15 year career

Cons

Little opportunity for growth. If you are not informed that you're on the partner track, you will not last long. Frequent lay-offs labeled "fired for performance" especially when the partner cannot sell enough work. Invisible partners
