Not paid enough to be this miserable

Pros

Taxware made me realize what NOT to look for in a company. ( The positive reviews on here HAVE to be fake).

Cons

No organizational structure, no clear company goals, too dependent on a few people who could leave and the rest would be clueless. No positive reinforcement for employees, hard efforts go unrecognized.

Disappointing...

Pros

-Free snacks, coffee, and drinks in the kitchen

Cons

-High expectations right out of the gate, you must be as good or very near as good as your veteran coworkers in a short time or you will be fired -Many coworkers will make you feel like an outsider -Words of growth in this company are a little untrue, you will need to stay in your position for 12 months before trying to move anywhere else in the company -Software is extremely outdated and slow, seems the IT department is very underfunded for hardware -Technical issues are a norm, don't be surprised if you have trouble doing your job because vital software functions are down -Mostly negative reinforcement, you may hear more about how you can get fired than succeed -Don't get too friendly with anyone, as they can come in one day and be told they are finished -Pay is underwhelming considering all the stresses involved that keep morale at a constant low

Thank you for providing your feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to share your input. Regarding growth within the company, you are correct we do ask that our employees stay within their Department for 12 months, to ensure they have fully embraced and understood the role and technology we use. However, those interested in opportunities within the same department may be eligible as early as 6 months from beginning their employment. Our organization does have a certain level of expectation for all within our company because we believe in setting a strong standard that our clients and employees can be proud of. Again, we appreciate your feedback and will continue to make improvements to ensure a highly engaged and talented workforce.

Pros

Easy highway access good parking

Cons

What happens to tax products under a new administration that's determined to cut ACA and simplify IRS? Turnover is crazy high, employees are underpaid and undervalued, upper management is disengaged, the company is unable to commit to any strategy, office politics are very high, managers play favorites, overall very unhealthy, unstable and unrewarding environment
