Meh... While It Lasted - Senior Financial Consultant Hobbs | Madison Employee Review

The company is lean and growing! Everyone is remote or can travel with certain positions. If you are coming in with an area of expertise, you are going to thrive. Consulting companies are not meant to be training grounds or learning opportunities. The company moves fast on most decisions because they are a flat organization. You are always 1 call away from the President. Flexible time off allows to relax and refresh your battery. It's an employee-owned organization so everything we do to help the company grow goes into our pocket. We get to work with some of the highest-level positions in large banks, insurance companies and investment firms. You get to see the insides of what a consulting company looks like, and it can really add education and experience to your abilities.

Small consulting organizations do not operate like larger companies. It's something you have to want to do and an area you want to work in. Small companies have growing to do like any organization and require self-starters and people motivated to help the company grow. The company operates lean, which can be good and bad. Good if you want to make money and grow the company out since it is employee owned, Not so great if you like company game rooms and a coffee break room with lots of snacks.

Being fully remote as a company provided flexibility

Being fully remote also meant there was never any actual PTO. I worked all the time and was expected to be available at all times even late at night or on holidays or vacation. I was not appreciated or valued in my role. There was an air of disrespect and condescension when being spoken to by management nearly every time as well as conflicting communication. The off-boarding experience was the worst of my 20 years + career. All in all, they are becoming a dishonest and shady employer who are out for themselves with no interest in employee loyalty, culture or support.
