Pros
- Good work life balance - IF YOU ONLY WANT A PAYCHECK OR CAN'T FIND ANOTHER JOB USE THIS AS A STEPPING STONE
Cons
- You are being underpaid (go look at Accenture, Deloitte, etc.) - The benefits are terrible - They will try to keep you underpaid on purpose (my starting class only got raises because we found out new hires were making more than we were, even though we had a year of experience, management was unhappy we found out) - This is NOT consulting. You will learn their ERP system and implement it. - There is NO career path. Ask in your interview for materials on the career path, they will not be able to provide nor explain. - There is NO pay bump for being promoted to Senior Consultant - You can be assigned to a Help Desk job where you are just an IT resource doing nothing but answering bug tickets. Assignments are random after MAP (3 months of training) - If you ever end up working >40 hours they offer you "flex time" which is supposed to be time that you are allowed to take off the following week. You can't take this time because they'll give you bad performance reviews, or they will just tell you they need you to work 40 hours. They will do everything in their power to make you work without paying you what you earned. - If you work in Federal you will be told you need to become a SME to advance, so you are pigeonholing your career as a government/government contract employee and gaining few other skills
