Ceterus Reviews

- You will be underpaid and overworked. From day one as a staff accountant, I was working 50 to 55 hours a week. Hours only increase as you moved up at Ceterus. Ceterus boast about their "unlimited PTO" if you happen to take more than three days of PTO the backlog is laughable. - Everchanging management and procedures. The "we are a startup thing change" needs to stop being said. We have been around since 2008! I have worked for a startup of fewer than two years and it was more stable than Ceterus. - This is not an accounting position this is a bookkeeping position. From SBA pod leader/Senior accountant to staff accountant. - Non-"accountants" working as "accountants." I understand the need of our Customer Success Managers (CSRs) but they are not accountants but Ceterus thinks they are. Additionally, 70% of the accounting/bookkeeping work is done by a team in India and Indonesia. - The software is unreliable. - Turnover rate is out of control! When I started at Ceterus two years ago the CEO's selling point was the low turnover rate. If Ceterus can hold on to an accountant for a year it is considered a blessing. Never the less, when Ceterus has accountants that want to stay they fire them in mass. - Unrealistic client and oversold clients. - The uncertainty of the direction the company is heading. - Zero transparency from upper management. - Zero diversity unless we are talking about our partners in India and Indonesia. - Benefits are not competitive and please stop saying they are.

There is no leadership, there is constant change in management till they run out of people to promote and just merge departments together and give them a new name. There is no training whatsoever. So when you start you are just thrown in and expected to perform like those that have been there for months already. They say they want you to know what is going on in the company and have monthly meetings about it but then all of a sudden a huge change comes that they don't tell you about and try to act like they gave you a warning meanwhile they are still trying to put on the act that they need accountants. (The job postings everywhere for all positions of accountants to make it look like they are looking but not one accountant has been hired in months. They complain departments need more accountants to handle all the work but they never hire, they just offshore more and more. They say things to make you think your job is secure for awhile and then one day you walk into work and they tell you they found a way to have someone in India do you job at a lower cost.
