Pros

They really mean it when they promote a work-life balance. As an employee, I get the feeling that management really does care about me and isn't just giving me lip service. The salary is VERY fair. The benefits are head and shoulders above anything I've ever had anywhere else. There is good communication from upper management all the way down the line. They make you feel like you are a part of something, not just a cog. Everyone WANTS you to succeed and really do look our for you; not just how to get ahead themselves. As cynical as I am about company events, round tables, town hall meetings, and other type events; I still truly appreciate that they are there. For me, it doesn't matter what is said at these meetings, it's the fact upper management is taking the time to say it. The message isn't as important as the fact that they take the time to deliver it themselves. The gesture is more important than the message. At RSM they expect a lot...but they give a lot in return. There is a hierarchy in the company, but it never feels like a monarchy.

Cons

RSM is a big company, and sometimes it REALLY feels that way - especially when you are trying to deal with HR or get your time straight. It's not really a downside, it is what it is.

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.
