Poor Training, Disorganized, a Culture of Turnover
Pros
Remote Position Nice Office and Good Location Free Coffee
Cons
Culture of high turnover. The interviewers and the staff who do the onboarding tell how great the training is. You are promised a training approach that is complete and will ensure you get off to a good start. Instead its short, incomplete and doesn't live to those promises. They dump the properties on you. The people assigned to train you are instructed to spend minimal or no time with you. They are given too much work themselves, they feel more compelled to get back to their own work. These individuals have little time for questions. It leaves you in a situation where learn it yourself, work long hours or get tired of it and leave. It depends how long you can tolerate it. A Controller and a Senior Accountant had left after I joined the team. The vast majority of the people leave within a year or less. Most salaried Accountants work a lot of overtime and don't get paid for it. This is consensus I learned from quite a few Accountant who currently work at CBRE. The company offshored their Financial Operations to India, which has turned into a mess, even though the company labels it a success. Its was a difficult situation to work with since you depended on their work.
