Pros
20-25 days of vacation, free food on occasion, nice office and coffee room and location, provides lots of opportunities for CPE credit
Cons
No flexibility or work-life balance. if you are looking for public accounting, my advice is to go elsewhere, because I'm sure there are plenty of firms out there that actually care about their employess. additionally, their true colors really showed during the covid pandemic and not in a good way. they have made it extremely clear that revenues are their #1 priority. they don't care about their employees health or safety or making people feel comfortable during this time. we were REQUIRED to come back to the office extremely prematurely. and now they are putting employees back in two-person shared offices... while most of the rest of the country is still working from home for the forseeable future, and covid is worse now/just as bad as it was in april/may! they don't even give you the option to work from home or adjust your schedule unless you have a "situation", but that situation can't be that you are just not comfortable being around people for no reason. our job can easily be done at home, and anyone's job that can easily be done at home should be taking advantage of that for the safety of everyone. but no, not at UHY! the options for parents that have to home school their kids are honestly just a joke. instead of UHY just being flexible, parents either have to use up their PTO to stay home with their kids or take a pay cut to do so. every time the CEO sends a firm wide email i wonder if this is all just a sick joke. the longer i stay here the more i realize how greedy and shady the partners/execs are. it is deeply disturbing their blatant disregard for their employees and their families. bottom line, steer very clear of this place if you can avoid working here. company morals and priorities are all out of whack.
