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.

Ryan Response

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.

The Truth About Ryan

Business Outlook

Pros

Ryan does a poor job recruiting outside of Dallas so for the most part if you have a pulse and a degree in anything you can get a job in one of the satellite offices doing tax work.

Cons

Apparently upper management has sent emails to employees to try to get them to post positive reviews and hide the negative reviews so of course the upper management in some of the offices with something to gain by trying to make it seem like this is a good place to work will post positive reviews. - Ryan will have problems getting new clients with the widespread knowledge of the fraud that took place involving even a former Principal going to prison. - The bonus system is a joke. Just because a small amount of the people here have lucked out and been on some big projects that were handed to them and have earned large bonuses the majority of people here aren't making any significant bonuses. - Describing the company as "Entrepreneurial" is an excuse for paying their employees low base salary's. As a staff member you are at the mercy of whatever projects get handed to your team. Garbage projects will equal garbage bonuses. Most of the good projects will stay in Dallas. -This bonus system has promoted a culture of greed and disgruntled employees who aren't being given the larger revenue projects. - HIGH turnover. I have never seen so many people leave a company. It is particularly bad in IT and HR. People are constantly leaving from the various practices also and then there work gets passed on and people have no idea what happened with the project.
