Pros

Flex schedule, decent bonus structure for managers and above, the Principal you work for is key as they can. make or break your career at Ryan

Cons

Principals (partners) all think their projects are important and are constantly hounding managers for updates, "dog" projects are not distributed evenly, bonus structure is a joke for staff, salary is way below market especially in cities that are not in Texas, staff can cause problems for managers and it is difficult to fire people due to the need for "bodies" not great staff, managers never get PTO as they are always on call, burn out is rampant for managers, doing extra work for no money so team resources are taken up, projects with high bonus go to the same teams, working during holidays is normal for managers, the President thinks only of himself and not the entire firm, his new "incentive" is a joke since it is based on how much is brought in during the end of the year by teams and it includes Principals who already get paid significantly more than everyone at the firm, sleep is nonexistent if you have pushy Principals, firm stigma is terrible. I could go on and on, but just be wary of something that seems to good to be true.

Pros

- The MyRyan Program - Work Autonomy - This is a great company for new accountants trying to get a great name on the resume. The company is highly respected in the accounting world and it will do wonders for your resume and future career progression.

Cons

****** Please note: Beginning in August 2016, Ryan has asked their employees to go onto Glassdoor to submit good reviews to bump the company average. They were then asked to submit the screenshots to show their "commitment". So please be aware of that as you go through the reviews submitted during this time period. ****** Inexperienced and dangerously-promoted managers and leaders. I was a senior member of a group for nearly two years. One leader had no experience in our field. They have burned and churned through three (3) complete teams in the past 3-4 years. Upon sharing feedback with leader, no visible signs of understanding or change in behavior would occur. When these issues were elevated to Upper Leadership, nothing was done. Another leader on the team, with no management experience, would constantly have employees in tears due to inappropriate conversations and interactions. Employee morale in pur department was always very low. Most recently, the Top 3 positions in our division have left. The function is broken and in-need of a complete reset. The company is still ran like a mom and pop with 25 employees. EVERY purchase, even office supplies , has to be personally approved by the top so purchase orders will sit for months. The "cowboy" way of running the company by calling out changes on the fly during conference calls is not effective.

Pros

Salary and Benefits are normal

Cons

I will not recommend working in Ryan LLC. This place is only good if you know someone in the Management otherwise your life will be hell. 1) No Training 2) Open abuse, no respect at all 3)My Ryan is totally drama only gives this benefit to their babies and buddies 4) Very few CA are working, 5) No Paperless environment, the standard of working is very low not even close to mid-size accounting firms
