    Pros

    The autonomy you are provided to work with your clients is wonderful. You are able to build great relationships and do incredible work with your clients. Those opportunities are provided at many places.

    Cons

    Consultants are promoted to leadership positions without any type of leadership skill set. Leaders are not held accountable to their responsibilities and rarely take action. As a result, consultants aren't held to equal standards or accountability. There is only one criteria that gets you promoted, being friends with a current leader.
