The main problem is the fact that most companies don't look for service per se, but what they can get for a cheap price. Also, there are consultants out there that are pissed because they are also getting screwed by the company. I was a consultant for 2 years and others at my site felt that the people getting the service should only get the quality equal to their own salaries. With most consulting companies, the consultant only receives about a third of what the parent company pays. The consulting company gets two-thirds for doing nothing but sitting in their off-site offices and expecting their people to do the right thing. My consulting company was making $22/hr for signing a check every week. The only time I actually saw reps from my company was the day my contract ended to escort me out of the building. There really isn't any truth in consulting.
But, The REAL TRUTH is out there!!!
