Pros

Some good coworkers and managers. Good amount of PTOs Contribution to HSA You will learn a lot (mostly on your own because your supervisors won’t have time or incompetent)

Cons

- Very long hours - they will work you to death. You will be working at least 12 hours a day Monday-Friday and half day Saturday during busy hours. -Unrealistic billable hours - management set the hours and don’t care if you meet it if they like you. If they don’t like you, they will make “not meeting the billable hours” the reason when they fire you. - Pay - low pay comparing to market and sometimes you get cheated out of bonuses even though you were nominated because “not enough spot”. And spot bonus after taxes is only couple hundred dollars. - Retention - they are willing to let go of competent people during pandemic and keep the suck up and dumb staffs on payroll. Offer full time positions to air-headed interns because the he/she is a “nice person” that has no idea what a balance sheet is. - 401k - very low matching - start giving 1.5% with 5 years vesting - you will be living on the edge because your coworkers would get fired or quit left and right and you wonder when it’s your turn. I left the firm and never look back.

FIRM LEADERSHIP & CULTURE = HOT MESS

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.
