Schellman reviews

As someone that is very familiar with the employment landscape in this space, I can say that Schellman & Company is absolutely the best workplace for anyone seeking a challenging opportunity in the compliance industry that also values and rewards individual performance. The size of the company makes it very nimble. Not so large that it has the bureaucracy and aloofness of a Big 4 firm. Not so small that it lacks the critical mass to attract top talent or compete for larger clients. Another advantage is that it is employee owned. Unlike certain competitors that have venture capital masters, Schellman is able decisions focused more on quality of service than profitability. Schellman's clients are among the best known companies in the world. Although I cannot mention them here, most people are amazed at the client opportunities to which they are availed through Schellman. Schellman's national focus, as opposed to a local office or regional approach, gives most people far more interesting opportunities than even the Big 4 and large consulting firms can offer. Thankfully, senior management is comprised of the best in the business. They are not dictators seeking to micro-manage. Rather, they are hands on and intimately involved in every project. Personnel generally work in teams based on expertise and/or geography and have specific managers and principals that lead their day-to-day activities. Team members receive feedback and supervision from every single project and are never left on an island to fend for themselves. On a related note, I continue to hear horror stories about other firms allocating personnel a fraction of the time necessary to perform assessments, and some that even assign personnel to multiple assessments in a given week. If you have found yourself in this situation, please know that does NOT happen at Schellman. Project schedules are completed months in advance, principals and managers handle nearly all "advance" work, and with rare exception, auditors are never asked to travel to more than one project location in a given week. I have consistently found that Schellman has the highest total compensation packages in the industry. Combine what with industry leading benefits (Note: be sure to check them out on the website) and you will begin to understand why our employee tenure is so high. Quite frankly, Schellman appears to set the pace in the industry and its demonstrated by how many competitors attempt to follow Schellman's lead. I highly recommend Schellman to anyone seeking to upgrade their career.

Having previously worked for a company where the culture was extremely formal, and based on the old business model of 9AM-5PM. It's refreshing to be apart of a company with such a Millennium based model. Service and Delivery (Auditors) are in the field from Monday-Thursday, but are back home by Friday. In the event that an auditor has to travel on a Friday or over the weekend, the auditor would be eligible for a $500 bonus for domestic travel or an $1000 bonus for international travel. Additionally, auditors may even be eligible for a travel allowance in certain instances. This could be used for weekend expense or even to fly a friend or family member to your location. As for Operations, you are allowed to set your own hours. If you need to drop your kids off early, and work a 7AM-4PM schedule no problem. It's about setting your hours and keeping them consistent. You can even hit the gym during lunch since there is a gym on the 2nd floor! As for the office space for Operations, if you need a minute to gather your thoughts or blow off some steam, the break room has Golden Tee, darts, and an arcade machine loaded with games. The Operations team has nearly tripled in size in less than a year, but has managed to maintain a closet knit community. There's a lot of fun perks whether you are apart of Operations or Service and Delivery. This includes an annual trip where the company will pay for you and a guests. Past trips have included Key West, Las Vegas, and Cancun, and this year we are going to Scottsdale AZ! In the end it is about the work, but it's important to have a little fun too!
