It's People First Here, Honestly

Pros

This company recognizes that its people are important to their success. They are continually working to ensure they provide the best benefits in the industry including healthcare and 401k as well as a flexible work/life balance work day. In an industry that is nearly stagnant this company is dynamic and is constantly evolving to grow its business. That growth comes with ample opportunities. Senior management refuses to rely on old, tired processes and takes feedback from all levels to ensure they are constantly adapting and ahead of the curve. Year over year growth and a desire to dominate the tax market sets them apart from all other firms, nationally as well as globally. And we are global. Come for the work but stay because you are treated fairly but more importantly you are treated as if you are a client because the firm doesn't exist without its staff and leadership understands this.

Cons

I believe this industry gave birth to the style know as "business casual" and unlike the pager it refuses to go away. This company still fosters a business casual dress code and for me it's their biggest Con. The dress policy does not reflect the dynamic culture, goals, and philosophy this company believes in. It's probably the older generation (no offense) having trouble adopting the idea that jeans are okay in a work environment. I'm sure they will SOON come around.

The things I love and hate about Ryan LLC

Pros

Ryan LLC has been one of the most interesting places I've ever worked at. The culture is unique, the people are wonderful and the environment is encouraging. I love My Ryan. Having the flexibility to work when you want and where you want makes balancing work and life very easy. I love working here and I enjoy working in a group filled with not only intelligent individuals but also individuals that want to see me succeed.

Cons

What I absolute hate about this firm would have to be compensation. Coming straight out of college into my first full time job, I didn't think I had the leverage to negotiate my salary however if I could go back and do so, I would. I think I'm undervalued in terms of what I'm being paid. Ryan competes with big four yet does not compensate like big four. How does the firm expect to retain the talent that it grows if it is unwilling to pay us fairly? If I was making what I'd make at a big four firm, this job would be perfect and I'd never want to leave.

Pros

MyRyan will improve your quality of life and is a major competitive advantage over Ryan's industry competitors. I've heard the ability to use MyRyan differs upon which team you are assigned, but it has helped me to improve my work quality greatly. Brint Ryan the CEO is aggressive in expanding Ryan's market share, and he is intently willing to adopt creative suggestions from his employees. My managers and the principal at my office location are excellent, I really lucked out. Brint announced the 401(k) will soon be improved to make it one of the best in the industry.

Cons

I have one issue with Ryan, but it is a major one. It is my experience that Ryan does not make cost of living adjustments depending on the market. The base pay Ryan offers to tax consultants in my market is just not competitive. Consultants based out of Dallas make more bonus pay because of oil and gas projects there, but my cost of living is almost twice what theirs is, not to mention the enormous disparity in purchasing power. There has been about 80% turnover in tax consultants at my office in just the past two years. Ryan's business model is excellent and Brint is honest when he says employees are his first priority, I just wish the firm showed more commitment to keeping talented people long-term who are just starting out.
