      Pros

      None - engaged in questionable practices

      Cons

      - Concerning when they start documenting in emails after every meeting - They work you out of the company one by one - Unrealistic billable hours - the purpose is to make you feel less in case they need to let you go - Their behavior is purposeful to damage you and make you agree with them - Their questionable behavior does not happen immediately. It happens over time. - They will purposefully not give you work so you’re low on billable hours. - No career opportunities. They will sabotage you so they don’t promote you or you quit - They want you to quit so they’ll do whatever they can to fulfill their goal - You can cry after so much abuse. They won’t care. Instead they’ll wait so they can continue the abuse. - Someone needs to be terminated every year so they continue to hire first year salary

      Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We take all concerns seriously and truly want to understand and address issues when they arise. Because experiences can vary across individual managers or teams, the most effective way for us to resolve concerns is through direct communication. We encourage any current or former employee to share their experiences - whether related to a manager, workload, communication, or processes - directly with our dedicated HR Business Partners. This allows us to fully look into and address feedback and insights in a timely and appropriate manner. We are extremely committed to fostering a supportive workplace and, again, we appreciate your feedback.

      Pros

      it used to be the people I worked with until Sikich bought our firm and most the good people left. you get 30 free therapy sessions because when you work here your gonna need it. A little bit better working hours compared to other CPA firms, however you will still be expected to work 60 hour weeks during certain points in the year.

      Cons

      When I first started working here I loved everyone. Then Sikich bought our firm a bunch of people left and we didnt replace them just expected to work more. We stopped having team happy hours. The firm always talks about award winning culture but the manager I have currently our entire team hates and we all cannot wait to quit. Our manager would curse all the time and be so rude to everyone on the team. I literally think they are insane. They would brag about working till 4AM all the time and send emails from 1-4AM. The only reason I gave this place 2 stars is because I have worked with some of the nicest people I ever met that would send emails to my partner saying how great I did and would truly care about you. Benefits are below average. Certain clients can be a nightmare and will leave you screaming at the top of your lungs. Other clients make the day feel like you only worked 1 hour.

      Thank you for taking the time to comment. We are certainly very glad that you feel that many of the people you work with are terrific. We are very lucky to have incredible people at the firm. It seems like some of the concerns you mention are related to your former firm being acquired. The integration process can understandably create questions and procedural changes that may create a degree of uncertainty. That said, we work very hard to gather feedback from those who are new to the firm and work to consider and implement positive changes, where appropriate. We would recommend reaching out to your HR Business Partner to discuss your concerns, as one of their primary responsibilities is to help employees navigate these kinds of issues. The feedback we receive from employees is the first step in allowing us to foster a workplace culture that leaves all employees feeling positive and fulfilled. Again, thank you for the comments.

      Pros

      Decent teams. You'll learn alot.

      Cons

      I worked way more and harder than I should have for a very thankless organization. In the end no one cares - no matter how hard you work or amount of time you put in. There at some partners who are awesome but in the end, they don't care about you or if you leave. The pay is terrible, and I can see why this place never went anywhere. All the hopes and dreams of "20 by 20" don't mean anything when your directors and partners don't care. That is exactly why this firm never achieved it.
