Pros

Young people , nice location , decent pay and benefits for college grads

Cons

Despite the rigorous interview process and structured two-week training, the role turned out to be more of a high-volume sales or business development position than one focused on consulting or private equity. You’re expected to use your personal LinkedIn account to source experts, followed by cold calling and emailing at scale. While that’s part of the job, it’s important for candidates to know what they’re signing up for. A major challenge is that success often hinges on factors outside of your control. Even if you identify multiple high-quality experts for a project, there’s no guarantee the client will select any of them—or that the project will even move forward. Sometimes, the client chooses an expert sourced by the project manager already in the system entirely. This adds a strong element of luck to performance metrics. Additionally, when results don’t go your way (often for reasons unrelated to effort or quality), you can quickly find yourself on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP). The pressure is constant, and morale across the team especially among younger employees is noticeably low.

Pros

Good entry-level opportunity with exposure to fast-paced, client-facing work. The company hires driven, sociable individuals and can be a strong starting point for building communication, prioritization, and execution skills in a high-performance environment.

Cons

High turnover and inconsistent management quality significantly impact the employee experience. Success is heavily dependent on your team lead and manager, with limited recourse if you’re placed under ineffective leadership. In my experience, poor communication, lack of emotional intelligence, and unclear expectations from management made it difficult to succeed and negatively affected day-to-day productivity. Internal processes around performance management and PTO lacked transparency. I was placed on a PIP and terminated shortly after (within a week) in a way that felt abrupt and not aligned with prior communication, which was initially framed as a discussion around pending PTO. There were also delays in PTO approvals, and I experienced issues with compensation adjustments following a promotion that required follow-up to resolve.
