Too much politics and mind games for an office.
Pros
It's hard to find a positive when 6 people that made that place great quit at the same time. They have a koi pond.
Cons
***Micromanaging, duplicate procedure which kill efficiency, lack of advancement opportunities, partners kill morale*** To keep it professional, this isn't a place you want to go after you have experienced a proper professional work atmosphere. This place isn’t bad until you start realizing the politics and mind games behind everything. Staff works well together, but the partners do not work well with each other. Partners and managers trying to make each other look bad. The partners are condescending and will treat your according to their mood that day. If they have had a bad day they will take it out on the staff. The partner’s know what the problems are, but they refuse to change their ways and continue to ignore themselves as the problem. They treat their admin staff like their maids and are completely unprofessional. There's a huge ego problem for those who have been there before the merger. Advancement is limited to none after supervising senior and the partners have made it very clear that they have no plans in retiring soon. In that office they have short term goals and that’s to have their employees crank out as much work as possible with minimal pay. The benefits do not compare to other firms in the area or other firms in public accounting. If various staff leave every couple of years , some who have been there for years, you should identify the problem and fix it. When 6 people leave you at once you are not addressing the issue and you are probably the problem. I think the fact that so many people have left says enough. I wouldn't recommend this office to anyone that is bright, talented, with a family, or any person from other CRI offices looking to transfer here.
