Pros
- Co-workers are nice for the most part. - Most partners are approachable and easy enough to work with. - Jeans days.
Cons
- Many members of management have NO clue what they are doing. This is especially true of those in departments outside of audit & tax. - Unprofessionalism runs rampant. - Cannot tell anything to local HR as they are completely unprofessional and have no clue what confidentiality is; the entire office will know anything you tell them within 72 hours. - Some managers routinely take credit for other’s work. - Dress code is not enforced across the board. Certain people get away with murder in this regard. - Salary is low, low, low. - In general firm is stingy and cheap - Appreciation ... what appreciation? - The firm is trying too hard to be one of the Big Four yet they do not offer the benefits, pay, or resume prestige of the Big Four. - Since the merge employee morale is in the toilet. Lost many of the great Cohn people just have them replaced with sub-par, yet much cheaper, Reznick people. - If you are not seated in certain offices (NY, Bethesda, ATL, LA) you are treated like a nobody. - OFFICE POLITICS and cliques! - Billable hours are overly emphasized - Non-CPAs are treated as third-class citizens. - If you do your job well your thanks will be more and more additional work until you are doing two jobs for the pay of one. - Too many “warm & fuzzy” meetings. When you have two jobs to do you do not have time for “What color is your parachute” and other personality-based BS. - Too many required outings - again who has time? - Not respectful of everyone’s time, just certain people’s time. - Diversity is a joke, especially in upper management. - Much, much more but I don't want to spend all day on this.
