Pros

Co-workers were great, until they were let go or left

Cons

Poor job flow, unrefined recruiting platform, only had zip recruiter for posting jobs, no other tools to help find candidates, lots of talk around what to do to help but then never followed through, easier to berate and belittle employees into fear of losing their job, Extremely poor motivation. Being reprimanded in front of all your co workers, is not motivation, it is humiliation. I have never worked for an owner that was so condescending, believing everything she said was worth listening to, regardless of the fairness or decency of the comments. Would have reported her to HR, if there was any, but she was the one you would report it to, so why bother? Those that I felt were good people, ended up being copies of her, in the end, so it was just painful to wake up and go to work in the morning. Your opinion, while heard, was belittled or talked down to, if it didn't fit into a perfect little box. I eventually felt the anxiety of working there wasn't worth the salary *which was NOT market yielding* that I was given and left. I truly do not have one good thing to say about my experience there.

It took us a year to respond to this, as we honestly thought this was written by a competitor; and genuinely can't relate to the person described in your review. We have been told by many that we have created a thoughtful, caring, and generous environment that gives everyone an opportunity to grow. The owners have not had any recruiters reporting directly to them for many years. If this is a valid employee who saw this as described I am genuinely sorry and sincerely apologize! We strongly encourage you to contact us so we can better understand what you personally experienced to make you feel this way. It's been a year, yet reading this is extremely bothersome, so please give me a call so we can apologize.

However, we appreciate your feedback, and am happy to hear you appreciated, the many facets of how a business operates. At BCS, we are happy to assist your growth as much as you would like. Good luck in your next career. and thank you for your accounting contributions the three years you were with us.
