      Great Company, but undervalued Consultant Support Staff

      Manager assistant

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great benefits, culture, and people.

      Cons

      Consultant Support Staff (or CSS) is not nearly as valued as consulting staff. Many benefits are given to consulting staff that are not even an option for CSS. Assistants have an extremely large workload and the gap between Manager Assistant and Executive Assistant salaries is vast, even though the roles are essentially the same and Manager Assistants support more executives.

      Best place to start your career

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I can't think of a better place to start your career--amazing learning opportunities, extreme focus on professional development, interesting/important problems to solve, and great people. Staffing model is designed to ensure that you get a range of experiences to develop a well-rounded skillset, preparing you to advance to the next level (a general manager skillset is very transferable to many jobs outside of consulting).

      Cons

      You will work hard in exchange for those professional development opportunities and interesting problems--that's the deal you make. As a more junior consultant you have less control over your schedule, but that increases significantly as you gain tenure. If you know that you only want to work in a very specific area from the beginning of your career, the model is not designed to accommodate that (and it wouldn't be in your best interest to do so, from a skill development perspective). You are allowed (and expected) to specialize, however, as a manager. From a long-term perspective, the job changes significantly several times over the course of your career--the best consultants are not necessarily the best managers are not necessarily the best partners, but you must play every role along the way.
