-your reports are criticized and picked apart daily and the managers and admins can alter your answers whenever they want based on if they want the reports to pass or fail the client
- when you receive an email from the admin after they alter your report at least 5 others are copied and it is a degrading feeling
- you receive a weekly score card on how many alterations were made to your report. (Note that the admins can change a report whenever they like and you will receive a deduction for something as minuscule as not using a comma)
- the admins make a game of how many “mistakes” they find when proofing your reports
- you are expected to book the cheapest flights regardless of which low-budget airline and prolonged travel time you must encounter
- in addition, even if you are a six foot, 250 plus pound individual do not take a complimentary car rental upgrade because that will increase gas consumption and you will be reprimanded for doing so and condescendingly reminded to book only economy cars to help keep costs down. (Again no regard that you will be driving that car for 12 days with the potential of putting on over 1,000 miles, but let’s keep that gas cost down!)
- you will be praised for flying the cheap seats and keeping costs low but will never be praised for your hard work and dedication
- you will be told to not expect a raise
- there is no mentoring to shape and develop you for a promotional role
- you may receive a meal per diem as low as $15 a day where a “real” Deloitte employee receives $75 regardless of what account they are on (If you are lucky enough to get a larger meal per diem you are encouraged not to use it but it will most certainly never be $75) I was actually questioned as to why I spent my entire per diem.
- you are expected to travel up to 12 days at a time with no extra time off at home. Of course this is to help save the company money, it has nothing to do with productivity. And they will give you one day per weekend off but that is while you are on the road so no benefit there because you aren’t even banking any extra days to be taken off while you are home
- if you happen to come upon a hotel with bedbugs you are told you must stay there and simply ask the front desk to be move you to the other end of the hotel
- even though you travel 100% of the time and request PTO far in advance they will deny you at anytime. They do not care about a balanced work/life and will thank you for being a “trooper” but again no thanks for a job well done
- even if you work over 40 hours in four days and the company does not have work for you on the fifth day, you need to use PTO
- you will have send in copies of your time and expense to your supervisor; however, “real” Deloitte employees do not need to
- Lastly, you are treated as an individual who barely completed their GED rather than an individual that possesses a Bachelors Degree, although a Bachelors is a requirement for this company.
-the list can go on and on.
