Pros

Good resume experience, a few publicly traded companies but be prepared to work a lot of hours for the experience

Cons

No work/life balance, HR is really bad, and expect a lot of crazy hours. Unfortunately all of the reviews are accurate for this location- the managers and partners really don’t care about their employees and definitely not about retaining them. Unprofessional behavior will go tolerated and unnoticed if your billables are up to par. Also the office has a lot of drama, people who work 100 hours a week don’t have lives, so be prepared for lots of stupid gossip. I’m currently looking for employment elsewhere and hoping that I’ll land something prior to the busy season kick off. Management can’t retain staff and jobs will be short staffed. The company isn’t doing well financially and I️ don’t want to be around for the demise. I️ wish I️ was lucky enough to have been selected for after the busy season lay off. Yea.. they did that.

Pros

- As assurance associate that came over from another public accounting firm, some pros are the ability to work with several different teams. - Hybrid, 2-4 days in office - Learn from senior associates - At my last acct firm never did inventory observations, so got the chance to see what that was like here at RSM

Cons

- Some seniors associates aren’t able to explain or teach which plays a part in your development as a first year associate or intern. I feel first year, intern should be able to leave feedback on senior associates. As if I’m having trouble with a senior who am I supposed to go, due to the hierarchy system they have implemented at RSM. - Can be Clicky & your colleagues will be friends in your face and talk behind you behind your back, I’ve seen it happen to others so I’m pretty sure it happened to me. Houston office can be toxic - Hierarchy system, leave people thinking with senior job titles that they are above you and you can be treated like sh*t - Favortism, you don’t have an equal chance here, because every first year is not put in the same position to succeed. Some first years are able to work closely with partners and the same colleagues but different clients which is where they can have the opportunity to build great relationships while some have to bounce from senior to senior having to learn for each client and adapt to how the senior wants the job done which in turn doesn’t help build relationships. As one can senior want something done such as accounts payable one way then you get to another client and the senior wants accounts payable done another way which makes you look bad in their eyes. Which doesn’t set you up for success at all and can overall lead to a layoff.
