Possibly a good place to work, but EDSC employees would never know.
Pros: - Good benefits package.

- Fairly competitive pay.

- Looks good on your resume.

- You will work with incredibly smart people.
Cons: Note that all of this is related to working at the EDSC. Working in other sectors of Deloitte could be great, but I wouldn't know. I'm writing this in hopes of saving at least one person from taking a job at the EDSC. If you were just offered a job by them, but were thinking it sounds too good to be true: you are right.

- You will be expected to work 60-65 hours a week, but be paid for 40.

- The employees talking to the client ("Field PMs", aka regional managers) don't know what they're selling or promising. They have never worked a day of eDiscovery in their life. They were moved to regional manager positions within the EDSC because their utilization fell too low at whatever division they were at before. They will promise the client the world before consulting with the team working on the project, at which point it will become your responsibility to "do the impossible."

- More turnovers than a pastry shop. Don't become too close with anybody, because they are probably in the process of leaving.

- Zero work life balance. My swing shift coworker left the firm (crazy, right?), and instead of hiring somebody to take his place...they just asked (well, forced) me to work 12 hour shifts instead.

If you're looking for an eDiscovery job in Nashville, run. Run very far away.
