Pros

Challenging work Some nice people Modern work office Location is okay

Cons

Very cheap on meals for the busy seasons The management people and partner treat us like we are just a number and not human. All about hour, hours, hours They promise many things but do not ever follow thru Hard to get promote or appreciation unless you are a favorite Horrible job at communicating information with the staff people. Have to wait until late Tuesday nights for update from main partner Many many pointless meetings that get in way of real work People who slack off get free pass and busy bees have to help them with their picking up slack If you give constructive feedback or suggest ways to be better they take offense (partnr will not like my review) Do not let intern work overtime - they will not accept ft offer for this reasons. I asked Office manager sends email at starting of busy season to tell you how to spend your lunch hours so you work more Bonuses are laughable. If someone quit, even if worked at RSM many many years, they are told to just leave and not stay for the last 2-weeks - how can you expect any one to believe you respect employees when this is done??? Very sad, depressed mood overall in the office Workspace is too noisy Main thing - no appreciation. You can do good job and care for what you are doing but it will not even cross partners mind unless someone tells them to show appreciation

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.
