Business Outlook

Pros

Casual dress and flexible hours.

Cons

Management makes little of what employees contribute and often mock and make fun of associates. There is no training or good communication between departments. Management is so infatuated with what they did four years ago they do not hear current day criticisms. They overwhelm you with clients and projects and do not compensate you for it. Favoritism - playing favorites' that demoralize the rest of the team.

The kool-aid is bitter, but not as bitter as management.

Professional service manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I honestly don't feel like there are many pros to the position. They are flexible with work schedules, but I put in more hours than I did at the Big 4.

Cons

Very little opportunities for job advancement. Contrary to the other posting; the work is repetitive and uninspiring. Plus there is no support to help you succeed, and management overwhelms you with clients. I started with a optomistc outlook, but soon realized this was a dead-end career path. In addition, their is no accountability of management, CSMs' (They are to setup the financial documents but often botch the job creating work for PSMs'), or even developers.

Bad management can take good staff and destroy it, causing the best employees to flee and the rest to lose hope.

Professional services manager

Business Outlook

Pros

If you can overlook the outlook of the company, raises not even indexed for inflation, poor management, and a poor political environment..... they have snacks.

Cons

The PSM group does not have the proper management to lead them, they have a poor vision, and no prospects of good leaders to come. Please note that the company has dollar signs as its bottom line and does not staff the PSM group sufficiently to be in compliance with the XBRL guidelines, which is the core of the PSM group. They lie to entice you in the door…. we will give you work/life balance. If you consider 80 hour work weeks for approximately 5 to 6 months out of the year work/life balance. It is public accounting without the prestige. Do yourself a favor and avoid Workiva.
