Working for McGladrey in Atlanta sucks!

Pros

I don't have any. My experience working in Atlanta showed me that the firm is a mess and the local Atlanta management is incompetent.

Cons

The firm has several policies which are not conducive to promoting good morale. They nickel and dime their employees on expenses as well. Further, the firm does not operate like a large accounting firm even though it is the 5th largest in the US. The firms offices operate as if they are local accounting firms under the McGladrey umbrella. There is not standardized practice. Audit methodology is not uniform throughout the firm. Everything is done differently depending on what office is doing the work. Long story short, they are a mess. There is a reason the entire audit staff quit at the end of 2011 and many of the tax staff left at the same time.

Pros

Due to the firm's involvement in the middle market, you gain exposure to a number of different industries. Audits typically take 2 to 6 weeks and then you roll onto a different company.

Cons

The pay differential compared to your counterparts at other mid level accounting firms is dismal. Also, with exposure to different industries, comes exposure to different busy seasons so you may be expected to work a busy season in the fall or summer (in addition to the typical winter busy season) depending on your clients.

Pros

My experience with McGladrey was positive. Junior employees were motivated and not typical "big 4" types - partners were very accessible. Team like atmosphere. Good work life balance.

Cons

Talent is not up to big 4 standards. Training, office environment, benefits on par or better than big 4. Making strides to be in the "big leagues" but still have a way to go.
