    Accenture should have better benefits.

    They have no respect for service employees and view them as expendable or replaceable. They only hire minorities in these service positions to get cheap labor. The operations team formerly office service was a revolving door because of mistreatment and lack of respect.
  • What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
    Coworkers in the service departments (operations formerly office service) were great it’s the management level of the department that’s horrible. They don’t listen to the issues and micromanage everything.
