Pros

Pay is competitive, lots of opportunities to join groups (like clubs)

Cons

Communication and direction from management changes based on what senior is assigned on the client. Some managers don't respond to messages for 4+ hours, some respond and say to ask someone else, some respond and only answer half of the question. Flexibility is encouraged by leadership but realistically not an option. PTO is horrible for associates - earn 12 hrs every month. So when you start working at RSM, you have to wait 1month to have 1 day of PTO, and two months to have 2 days. On top of that, you don't receive sick days, so if you have a doctors appointment or need a half day, you have to use PTO for that.

Pros

They try to stay loyal to their people Unlikely to be laid off if performance is good Supportive of internal mobility to a point. Varies on manager Great company for people coming out of college for gaining experience as long as they don't plan to make a career at RSM and Directors/Partners

Cons

Comp has been less in recent years due to economic environment which is already not competitive with industry No opportunities to negotiate pay during performance evaluation. You are just a number Continual efforts to normalize excellence. Going above and beyond is now a contingency for being promoted. This makes it increasingly difficult to differentiate oneself Spent 1 billion on AI investments. Hard to really see where it went apart from Copilot and the smaller pay bump.
