Beware! Career dead end - Avis employé Senior Consultant PowerObjects

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. It is correct to say that we have had many people come into entry level positions and move along strong career paths. Although a few of our Consultant-in-Training (CIT) programs have hired directly out of college, the majority of have come in with relevant work experience. We are definitely focused on upskilling our internal employees and value work/life balance. We recently adopted and fully embrace the formal HCL performance review process, which we know people have been asking for. We have seen this as another way to keep the lines of communication open throughout the year. For our projects, staffing is based on skill set and availability, with the ultimate goal being excellence in project delivery. While there are times we ask an employee to learn on the job, such requests are supported by upskilling initiatives and mentorship. As you rightly point out, PowerObjects provides educational opportunities and fully supports those who take the initiative to avail themselves of these opportunities. We believe our culture lives with our people. Of course, we are not the small privately held company we once were. It would be unreasonable to expect that we would be. As part of a $10bn global company we can and do now provide a much larger set of opportunities for those employees willing to work hard and seize them. We have amazing employees who make this a great place to work. We would like to note that the attrition described in your comments is significantly overblown and is not out of line with industry standards. Many organizations experience attrition, particularly in times of great change, and we are no exception. But our attrition has been quite manageable as we continue to hire for new positions and backfill open positions, more often than not from within the company. We do appreciate your feedback and thank you for the time you spent with our organization.
