Pros

You get lots of SPG hotel points

Cons

Bait and switch - they just announced (in Feb 2014) that for 2013, that they are changing the compensation and bonus structure - so they are changing it AFTER the year has happened. They are limiting bonuses and salary increases to only the top 50% of employees, even though everyone works the same hours. The most frustrating fact is that they had us work the ENTIRE YEAR and then told us AFTER THE FACT. Many employees I know did not get a bonus or salary increase this year, only finding after they worked the entire year.

Pros

If you’re fresh out of school and don’t have a specific skill and don’t know what to do, and you’re willing to be a yes man then yes it might be a good place to figure out your next step.

Cons

- Lack of pipeline for certain practices (and they will blame that on you saying your utilization is low but there’s nothing you can do at an associate level) - Full of people that feel good about themselves but they actually knows nothing about how actual industry work - No talent - Management will give you vague feedback that you can’t act on, For example, I got asked to “elevate the deck” but when I asked is it the messaging or is it the format etc they can’t give me anything specific - The expectation on work quality is inconsistent - Some manager level people can’t do excel which is shocking - You need to be a people pleaser in order to get promoted
