Lacks Diversity, MyRyan is Not All What it's Suppose to Be

Senior consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice to telecommute and work remotely.

Cons

MyRyan Work-Life Balance does not serve all employees; lacks inclusiveness and diversity. Not a people oriented work place. Tax work is stressful and hours are long. Hard work gets you little recognition unless you're favored. Company doesn't do enough nor does management to ensure employees work is evenly distributed and ignore employee burn out. Turnover is constant unless you fix this ongoing problem.

Thank you for your comments. We are not sure what you mean by "inclusiveness and diversity." myRyan is designed to be implemented at the manager level. Not all groups and all people will be able to leverage the program as it is based on their role and their performance to date. It is not based on any other factors that affect "inclusiveness and diversity." Also, you mention it is "nice to work remote" as a positive, so it sounds as though you were able to utilize myRyan. We hope you took advantage of the internal tools to share your feedback along with posting here. Thank you again for your feedback.

Great Place to work

Pros

Great place to work for girls as the level of Security is beyond expectation. U get to experience it only when you work with Ryan. "Clients do not come 1st. Employees come 1st" This quote is written by Richard Branson but followed by Team Lead and Other higher authorities at Ryan. Manager and Team Leaders are always there to motivate you, all you have to do in return is be Transparent.

Cons

Nothing to mention as I have not come across anything negative.

The featured review for this company is obviously a plug created by their management.

Consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Ability to work at home. If you want to put in 10-12 hour days. 2 weeks vacation. But be prepared to be contacted via email or phone while you are on vacation. Always.

Cons

25 Highest Rated Companies for Vacation & Paid Time Off.....Deloitte and KPMG are there, Ryan is not. Meetings upon emails upon training videos and classes make it impossible to get in a groove on a daily basis. Consultants are treated like slave labor, and fat cat principals/owners make sure they get a piece of all the action at the expense of the hardest workers.
