Benefits

RCLCO offers a robust suite of benefits, ranging from healthcare to training and team development, including: an in-depth training program orientation, the buddy program which gives each new employee a firm buddy in which to assist with any questions or concerns, a continuing education program to encourage development of career skills and knowledge, and a competitive employee benefits package.

RCLCO will provide you with the necessary tools and skills to become a successful consultant. Training kicks‑off with an orientation session: teaching you more about the firm, providing basic skills training in economic and financial analysis, outlining our research methods, and covering firm policies and procedures. You will be assigned to projects right away, using your initial assignments as opportunities to shadow peers and project managers to learn and apply the fundamentals of our methodologies and processes. More experienced team members have the opportunity to attend management training, preparing them for additional responsibility and career advancement at the firm.

Every team member at RCLCO has a firm buddy. Initially, these relationships are assigned by firm leadership to make sure that new team members have someone to whom they can go with questions or concerns (about the work, firm policies, culture, etc.). Over time, additional mentoring relationships naturally evolve as team members gravitate to each other based on similar interests and opportunities.

RCLCO offers a Continuing Education Program for team members to further develop their career skills and knowledge. We provide all of our team members a dedicated allowance for training resources, reading materials, on‑line training, conferences, workshops, or courses offered by relevant organizations.
