The Truth About Ryan

Pros

Ryan does a poor job recruiting outside of Dallas so for the most part if you have a pulse and a degree in anything you can get a job in one of the satellite offices doing tax work.

Cons

Apparently upper management has sent emails to employees to try to get them to post positive reviews and hide the negative reviews so of course the upper management in some of the offices with something to gain by trying to make it seem like this is a good place to work will post positive reviews. - Ryan will have problems getting new clients with the widespread knowledge of the fraud that took place involving even a former Principal going to prison. - The bonus system is a joke. Just because a small amount of the people here have lucked out and been on some big projects that were handed to them and have earned large bonuses the majority of people here aren't making any significant bonuses. - Describing the company as "Entrepreneurial" is an excuse for paying their employees low base salary's. As a staff member you are at the mercy of whatever projects get handed to your team. Garbage projects will equal garbage bonuses. Most of the good projects will stay in Dallas. -This bonus system has promoted a culture of greed and disgruntled employees who aren't being given the larger revenue projects. - HIGH turnover. I have never seen so many people leave a company. It is particularly bad in IT and HR. People are constantly leaving from the various practices also and then there work gets passed on and people have no idea what happened with the project.

Pros

Flextime is good in theory and generally good co-workers, but...

Cons

Pay system is designed to pit co-workers against one another for bonuses and management decides who gets what accounts. Cultish environment with Brent Ryan at the helm. You are always on call.
