- 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.
