Pros
Great immediate coworkers, provides free snacks daily.
Cons
Where to start. I worked at CLA for a little over 3 years. It started out great, with everyone fluffing up the company and its perks. It becomes apparent very quickly that CLA cares about no employees, no clients, and just care about their standing in the accounting firm industry and how much money they make. Since I started my boss had me do super shady things, like charging hours to other clients so I could meet my “charge” budget, which is 2400 hours per year, which is equivalent to working 44.5 hours/week. They claim to have unlimited pto, when in fact they make you make up the time you take for vacation before the end of the year, which makes those 44.5 weekly hours go up insanely when you take more vacation. I had so many clients say negative things about the company right to my face, but most of it was because of the things supervisors/managers made us do. I reported my boss to higher ups, and eventually they were fired. Since I reported my boss however, upper management started making my life a living hell. Constantly micromanaging me, pulling me into private meetings and grilling me about my performance, when all I was getting was praise from my immediate supervisors. The HR department is super two-faced and unprofessional. Do not have private conversations with them as anything you talk about will be told to other leadership and your management and it creates the most toxic work environment ever. Management is the most petty and childish I have seen anywhere. They constantly joke about inappropriate things at meetings, like people’s ages, their looks, etc. but never get held accountable for what they do.
