Pros

Remote work bit dont let this fool you

Cons

No clear sense of career direction. They are just a bunch of small firms trying to play in a big firm market but most of the people there are old school and cant think outside the box. There is no clear preference for a certain race and that shows on all their senior leadership as well as the composition of the overall company.

Pros

Good learning opportunity, generally not reprimanded for mistakes. Encouraged to ask questions and propose ideas. Learn a lot about what not to do. Managers do typically stay in the loop and tend to operate with an open-door policy. Managers do try to paint the full picture for us and emphasize the importance of our roles. Can be difficult to get into other departments/positions but it is possible. Unlimited PTO if you're liked enough to not be watched under a magnifying glass. BCBS insurance with great premiums/deductible. Lots of free mental health webinars available.

Cons

Overworked and underpaid. Can be very draining. Persistent (unpaid) OT. Expected to take on additional, more difficult and time consuming work without increasing pay. Bonus only $500 annually for staff accountants. Raises insultingly low for the work & time put in and do not keep up with rent increases let alone inflation on everything else (I'm talking 1% low). Encouraged to tolerate nonsense and inappropriate behavior from people just because "they've been here forever". Many people can get very unprofessional (not the fun way), including people in HR. Can be cliquey. Some people do micromanage, some undermanage. Many people don't correct their mistakes and leave for others to fix. Overall seems from the turnover in this specific position, the company works people as hard as they can until they burn out then it tries to get them to quit once they can no longer keep that pace up🤷

We take feedback seriously so that we can continually improve our organization, so thank you for your comments. Our recruiting team and hiring managers do their best to set expectations for work hours and workload during the hiring and onboarding process. Positions like staff accountant are considered exempt and salaried and are therefore not subject to overtime pay. If there were issues you felt could not be brought to your immediate HR business partner or your direct manager, we have other avenues such as contacting our CHRO directly, or connecting with our Navex, confidential hotline where an investigation could be conducted. Thank you, again, and we wish you all the best.

Pros

This company is best described as a stepping stone — decent for gaining initial experience, but not ideal for long-term growth or career advancement. While it may help you get your foot in the door, most employees quickly realize it’s not a place to build a lasting career.

Cons

Severely underpaid for the amount of work expected. No clear path for advancement or professional growth. Management lacks transparency and accountability. Toxic work environment with poor communication and constant micromanagement. High turnover and low morale across teams. Benefits are minimal and not competitive with industry standards.

Thank you for your comment; we appreciate the feedback. We do regular industry benchmarking for compensation to ensure competitive pay and benefits, are committed to learning and development and career pathing and we work diligently to nurture a transparent communication culture which we believe has contributed to below industry turnover rates at our organization. We encourage you to reach out to your Human Resources Business Partner to talk through your concerns. They are ready and eager to help. Thanks again for commenting.
