Pros
Before you start please look at all the positive reviews. They all have a similar “CON”s - Fast Paced - Need more people - Hard Work The Pro's are ridiculous. No company on glassdoor has those amazing reviews. RED FLAG. - These are 100% fake accounts created by the 3-4 person marketing team to hopefully sway people on the fence to start. - BE CAREFUL. - Before making a decision look at all the reviews and see the ones that have unique details. - People spend time to write these because they are trying to let NEW people know what to expect. They DON'T GET PAID so they get no benefit in writing a negative responses unlike the "marketing team". All comments are for jobs on the Implementation side. You get a job and a laptop. You get your cell phone bill paid. You get to hang out with mostly cool people who are young and energetic You get free food during tax season. Free sodas $5 credit for lunch at the cafeteria Site Visits to different parts of the US 3-5 company parties involving free food and drinks and prizes Good tax lawyers that know the R&D tax credit You can advance if you are a “yes” woman and love to brown nose senior management You get to go to free movies, dinners, if you are favored and a rising star. You can put tax consulting on your resume ( somewhat helpful if you are right out of college). You may even get to go to go on free secret trips to Vegas, if you are deemed a pretty girl with a “yes” attitude, by upper management.
Cons
Daily Life + To advance in this company, you have to believe in every decision, email, announcement, etc. that they make, no matter how unprofessional, or ridiculous. + They will ask for your feedback, but it is really a test to see if you are on board. + You have to be at work 10-12 hour days minimum, to get noticed and possibly get a raise. + Late night training sessions (after 6-7 pm), and 1 and 1s with whoever is your mentor and maybe her supervisor. + They still expect you to know and learn everything while working on client files = LONG DAYS and NIGHTS. + They will burn you out. It is like a law firm and they will give you a hard time for leaving early. + Extremely high turnover. This applies to new hires as well as employees who have been there for years. + Management has favorites, and they aren't shy about letting everyone know who they are. + They bill you at out at $200-400 per hour but pay you about 40-60K = $35-40 per hour DOE. + “Look at me” emails sent monthly to weekly. == Everyone has to reply to all and say “You are amazing”, “ Wouldn't expect less from you”, == “Way to be a leader”, and more half hearted words of praise. == These flood your inbox making it harder to actually do real work. == They are awkward at best and annoying after your 5th. + Structure of the company is in constant change. Directors who fall out of favor will be demoted, removed from their office and basically embarrassed. Sometimes there will be 5 directors then 2 then 7. Directors and Assistant Directors + Most are Hard headed and demeaning to their staff. However, they have their faves and they get better treatment + Do not know how to manage people + Live for the power trip and brown nosing they get on a daily basis from their staff. + They promote those people + Work over 12-14 hour days even during non peak times. + Shows how much they value their life and their staffs Owners + Do not understand their own workforce nor do they actually care + They are blinded by their early success, egos and money they rake in from YOUR work Promotions + Your fate is decided by a round table of upper management usually about 8-9 people and your immediate director (She better love you). + They rank you against your peers. It is based on about 70% personal likes, office friendships and agreeability; and about 30% actual performance.
