Why should you work at Attain Partners?
You might have heard of the term “WIIFM” or “what’s in it for me.” We prefer to call it “The Why.” It is the fundamental, introspective question a professional contemplates when exploring a new opportunity in their career. While the question is relatively straightforward, the answer requires a thoughtful factorization of all the incentives at stake. In this article, we aim to equip the reader with a complete understanding of what makes our company a top place to work and answer the penultimate question: Why should you work at Attain Partners?
The Mission
The work we do has a profound impact on the world, and you can come to work every day knowing that what you do makes a difference. Attain Partners seeks to equalize the playing field, partnering with higher education institutions and nonprofits to ensure they can operate at the highest level and stay up to date with modern practices. We are problem-solvers for organizations and our work is designed to help them find success without hurting their bottom line.
Our clients encompass:
- 70+ Higher Education Institutions
- 100% of the Ivy League Schools
- 150+ Non-Profits
The Career Advancement and Progression
Attain Partners is a place for the ambitious and we focus on promoting talent from within. We take pride in our colleagues’ achievements and place an emphasis on recognizing and rewarding such efforts. From day one, we set new employees on a path for success and encourage them to rise within our company, by:
- Clearly defining career tracks, setting yearly goals, and holding quarterly reviews to track progress
- Conducting annual employee performance reviews for the evaluation of salary increases and promotions
- Providing a path to partner that is half the time as other, larger consulting firms
The Benefits
Before listing the highlights, it is important to recognize our HR Department; a team who deserves proper credit for creating a benefits plan that arguably goes above and beyond the conventional industry standards. They are subject matter experts who champion our employee-focused benefits and keep a keen eye to the future, continuously researching ways to improve our capabilities and resources.
Below are some of our benefits that start on day one of employment:
- Excellent Health, Dental, and Vision healthcare
- A 401k 4% match that is fully vested from day one
- Unlimited Time Off
- Extended Maternity and Paternity leave
- Cell phone plan reimbursement
- HSA Account
- Legal services
- Training & Education reimbursement
The Balance
In addition to the UTO (Unlimited Time Off) it is important to note the overall work/life balance at Attain Partners. While we value hard work—we also understand it is equally as important to focus on our life outside of our career. We have established a work setting that allows for:
- Ability to work remotely
- Flexible schedules
- 11 paid federal holidays
The People
Our people are at the core of who we are as a consulting firm. We are mission-driven individuals, passionate both in our work as well as the clients we serve. Colleagues from many different backgrounds work together to create a warm, collaborative, and pleasant environment. We work together to solve problems and rely on each other for support. To reference one of our seven core values—Have Absolute Integrity—our word is our bond. We act with honesty, respect each other, and honor all commitments. No exceptions.
The Leadership
While Attain Partners is experiencing an electrifying amount of growth, we should assert that at the helm of our success is the excellent leadership. We are steered by tenured leaders who are widely recognized in their fields and have previous experience building successful companies. Our leaders have open-door policies, seeking to mentor and develop our talent while ensuring our business lasts for generations to come. Instead of directing from the top floor, you’ll find senior executives working alongside colleagues to ensure business needs are met and career achievements are unlocked, paving the way for future leaders at Attain Partners.
