Pros

*Good job experience (about what not to do) *Provided a good outlet for meeting people *Had nice people to spend time with

Cons

*I spent several years here, always feeling I was unappreciated, and undervalued. *I always did my best for the company, but I cannot say the company always did their best for me. *The senior management in charge often asked me to do more than my fair share, without wanting to pay for that share. *Analysts were often treated unfairly, even though they were underpaid and talented analysts were not pursued. *Shady tactics were used to recruit, often felt dishonest. *Benefits were not impressive * I often felt the research had many holes in it, that were avoidable if better tools and technique were applied.

Pros

- I have a nice view of the lake. - I don't have any other positives to remark on, other than location is nice and the security guards in the lobby are very nice.

Cons

- Sales aren't honest, your sales don't always "count" regardless of the fact the company counts the money from it. - Salary is not competitive with standards nor with other consulting firms -Euromonitor does not seem to know if they are a consulting firm, market research house, or freelance center...they pretend to do them all, and none very well. - Managers/Directors are promoted for no honest reason. Managers are basically doing the same job, with new titles to justify raises or salary adjustments - - while dismissing employees with low raises or manipulated sales structures. - The intelligence and talent behind promotions internally feels nonexistent. - Supervisors engage in mindless power trips to maintain their personal feeling of superiority, regardless of their own poor sales performance. - The lack of sales talent in sales supervisors is like the blind leading the blind - The benefits are a joke. They were dishonest about benefits as well. I started at the company told benefits were one thing, then they changed to something far lower, and now my hospital is "out of network". And the 401k program changed so you aren't even fully vested for years! And the matching is insultingly low. 3% of nonvestment, that's not what I call generous, especially when they manipulate the commission structure and have such irregular practices for sales qualifications that count towards goal. The system is corrupt, in order to project inflated value int he company, they aren't fooling anyone. - The new website which the company spent endless amounts of monies on, is an empty shell of useless data, that does not encompass full numbers with full data. -Clients constantly question our data, rightly so. Our data is not provided by experts nor -We bring analysts with no experience or expertise or qualifications to meetings when they have no business pretending to be employees at meetings. -Managers on occasion buy you a sandwich to make it look like they are on your side, but the real politics are that's an act - they aren't there to help, only there to liaise and backtalk on behalf of senior management. -Senior management is a real joke (they are a click amongst themselves that talk unprofessionally about employees) -Survey strategy is very weak. - Data structure is non existent. - Bitterness between departments and social clicks make for very awkward forced social interaction - There is no working system in place to deal with employee issues. - Regular visits from London office demoralizes teams.

Pros

-Located near Art Institute - Near public transportation -Open layout - Lots of opportunity to learn (good and bad habits) - Fruit -A chance to meet a few nice people -Hired me when I was unable to find a job elsewhere. (however, i now have seen they are desperate due to high turn over and lack of thoughtful expansion process)

Cons

- Do not understand the point of the yearly outing, what are we celebrating...or trying to forget? - There's nothing like people with no job experience to tout to clients as experts. -The benefits went from being standard, and slowly have become a joke. But they throw a beer at you now and then and think, that's the samething as being treated right. It's an insult. -Healthcare benefit is really bad! For a company this size, it's cheap, it's so cheap, it's just ridiculous, and most all of the hospitals the employees would use are considered out of network though they "technically" called covered, they are "covered, out of network"...nice. -The pay is ridiculously low considering they give us "consulting firm" amounts of work, and set ridiculous deadlines and expectations, friends at consulting firms have better hours than I do, and are more concise, use better tools, and have better strategies. -Directors here like to say how horrible consulting firms are for to work for - we suppose that's the pot calling the kettle black. At least those firms pay for the workloads given with salary and incredible benefits. I don't get paid a dime for working past 5pm, and when I average my salary out against the hours put it, I make just above minimum wage. -Our projects are poorly conceived and poorly executed due to poor materials. -No training. -Methodology doesn't make long term sense, nor is innovative. -Company seemed interested in expansion, but not in quality of product, nor quality of employee. -Senior management is out of touch. *Way too much travel based on lack of pay and benefits. -Turn over is consistently high and will get higher. -Analysts are not represented well, and are not organized, and are not properly trained. I often get asked about compliance, which we aren't exactly making a priority. -Directors seem excessively secretive and political, when it's a small company of young people...you'd think they'd prioritize transparency, a clean way of business, and quality. Not the case, at all. -Aesthetic promotions are big right now...it's embarrassing. New titles for the same group of people, who don't do much different than they did before. -The website is really awful. It's old ideas applied to a new site - not cutting edge. Took forever to get up and running, feels nonfunctional. Also provides inaccurate data. -Money is excessively wasted on website and design, however, no invested in good software and tools to train us in true consulting so we can do it right and in a much more time effective manner. Everything is stuck in Excel.
