Pros
Phil is doing roadshows so we can ask him questions. I guess that's a good thing if people had the guts to ask a question, but alas we don't want to be the next tax partner to resign for personal reasons..
Cons
FTO what a joke - I don't know anyone who takes 5 weeks of leave a year - so it's designed to save the bottom line of the Company at the expense of our pays (only for managers and above) Partners are so disconnected from staff - okay sure you all have instagram accounts and follow HCVT Careers - but that doesn't mean you know that everyone hates our clients who can't use a calculator, and expect us to drop everything to get their quickbooks in order for that M&A project, which is so urgent. Partners care only about making a quick dollar. Has anyone ever noticed that HR/Recruiting/Training/Other non-client facing depts cc the entire world on emails? Everything is escalated unnecessarily. My favorite topic - expenses. We get paid expenses a full pay period after you incur them. So you pay your AICPA membership fee on August 1 - it gets paid on August 22. You incur an expense on August 23, it gets paid on September 22. And that's if you're lucky enough that payroll actually approved the expense in star. I have no idea why we are financing the company - must be a cashflow issue.
