Solid company to work for. - Associate CLA (CliftonLarsonAllen) Employee Review

Pros

CLA specializes in serving private businesses and values its employees. The work life balance is extremely flexible. Busy season does get very wearing on a person but after April 15th the job is a breeze. The leadership is great and the Company does have a great set of values.

Cons

The salaries are a bit low. You can find a higher salary with a few years public experience and then going private, and then worrying about chargeable hours is another con but that is going to happen with almost every public accounting firm.

Pros

Good thing national teams allow remote work opportunity because there's not enough space in the local offices anyway, but you might just end up working after hours more often than not.

Cons

No pay raises year after year which is an actual pay decrees when taking into account inflation, fake "flexible" PTO, required to work 45 hours a week without any overtime, raises, bonus, or any financial reward which actually matters. You have to do ridiculous workday feedbacks, and self review every quarter but it means nothing because they don't even consider the feed back you've received when laying off. It is your job to find work, and when there is't enough work for you it's your fault, not leadership's. You get promised new projects and they are always delayed for months at a time and many times nothing even comes out of it. Pretentious company that likes to call itself "family" - only red flags here.
