Favoritism, lots of favoritism

Senior associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You are able to work from home which is probably the only pro. Although it is sometimes difficult to get management to approve it.

Cons

You won’t move up for hard work or work ethic. Only way to move up is to be competitive and become a favorite of Management. Huge workloads, barely any training provided, be prepared to work 12 hour days because you will be given a work load that is impossible to complete in 8 hours. When struggling with workload there is little to no management help.

Business Outlook

Pros

Flex Time; very family- friendly firm (gotta compensate for all the negatives- see below).

Cons

NAV workpapers too manual. Was told "the firm is lean" before I started: terrible salary, terrible raise (if any), terrible bonuses. Threats of RIFs always in the air. Expensive health insurance. Sone ineffective VPs in PE/ Hybrid admin space. Incompetent IT staff/ HelpDesk; if you have an IT issue be prepared to be shuffled between multiple technicians and have your issue resolved in a week (!). Never had an exit interview.
