Pros

- Remote work (is being reconsidered, however)

Cons

- Benefits - The benefits here are absolutely horrible. Our open enrollment period just opened and now employees are 100% responsible for paying for life, long term, and short term disability. I have never seen that at any job. I am beyond disappointed and fed up with CFGI’s lack of care for their employees - Training - This is a very much “figure it out” culture. There is no formal training on any jobs. You are not given any guidance and many of the “higher ups” on the jobs don’t know what they’re doing themselves. Prepare to be frequently frustrated and confused if you work here. - Development - The development and promotion structure for employees is a joke. No one takes the Performance reviews seriously because (see bullet point above) there is no training on anything. So there are no expectations and guidelines for anyone to follow - Turnover - Because of the aforementioned, people leave this company in droves. They will stay for a year and leave. Because of this, legacy knowledge is lost and creates more and more confusion on projects.

Pros

- Hybrid/Remote - Good work life balance - Smaller clients Company is trying to grow which provides more visibility within teams. If you want to be a part of a company that is in its growing stages this would be a good fit. All ex big 4 employees who left for a better work life balance with less complex engagements.

Cons

- Lack of well established internal controls and outside resources - Bare minimum company benefits - Pay is below market level Coming from a big 4, I was not expecting the lack of resources provided. It is hard to do the job without the proper level of resources. Not a well established firm yet. Felt like the company was trying to present themselves at the big 4 caliber, when it is no where even close to the top 10 accounting firms. Felt like a huge step down in my career.
