Pros
When I'm not at the client, I'm working from home which saves a significant amount of commuting time. The pay is better than average, and quarterly bonuses are paid to senior associates and managers, which can be a large percentage of my pay. Schellman hosts a company trip (in addition to PTO) to somewhere relaxing, and I am able to take my wife as well. Most importantly, I feel appreciated by managers and principals for the work I contribute. It is very rewarding to know that my hard work does not go unnoticed!
Cons
Working remote has its drawbacks as well, which include the inability to mingle with coworkers and getting face time with managers and principals. Although not impossible, there are challenges and cost limitations to breach. In addition, senior associate scheduling is so tight, that there is little room for error or deviation from an engagement. If something goes amiss, likely it will carry over to the next week when I've already moved onto working on another engagement. This means I'm working twice as hard, as I'm only scheduled to work one client, but have to work on multiple. That being said, if I say something to my manager rather than just try to finish it out, he or she normally helps. If you're one to just stay quiet and expect the issues to resolve themselves, this will likely be an unhappy place for you. If you can speak up respectfully, and be honest with where you're at, upper management will help if you're unable to handle the workload.
