Overall, the work you do in Client Services is unsophisticated and unimpressive. PowerAdvocate hires engineers from top schools - unfortunately the work Management offers to the clients is basic and boring (as one of my old coworker stated "high paid clerical work"). My biggest recommendation is to not stay in the company for more than 2 years. The work is so obsolete, that it'll become very hard to brand yourself (as you thought you would if you had worked at a normal consulting firm) to future companies. Sadly, the Leadership team truly believes that the work they do with their clients (all archaic utilities who are still stuck in the 70s) is unique . Reality check - hours spent frivolously on PowerPoints is nothing but a waste of time. Additionally, they WILL send you to middle of nowhere locations for months (Kansas, Calgary, Texas, Nevada Monday to Thursday) and pay you a ridiculously low salary (65k for associates, 73k for managers). Yearly salary increases are around 7%, which amounts to 100 dollars a month more after tax. Once again, this is contingent on if they're having a "good year" (unclear what that means for such an irrelevant company).
