Current Employee – been working at Plante Moran
Pros – nice offices to work in
flexible hours
its a smaller firm with the resources of a large firm.
chicagoland is a nice place to live
Cons – too competitive for engagements
managers look to blame staff for anything that goes wrong
they talk about the golden rule, but when it comes to practicing ethics, they are just another big accounting firm.
opportunities for advancement are political
Advice to Senior Management – there is a lot of b.s. at the senior manager level. too many "type A" personalities in the office who are willing to walk over anyone.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at Plante Moran
Pros – If you can get on a senior manager's coat tail you'll be promoted faster.
Nice offices and flexible hours.
Opportunities to learn a lot of different things much faster than larger accounting practices.
Cons – Opportunities are not spread evenly amongst new staff and will delay promotions.
I had one in-charge brag about getting a DUI and then getting the case dropped - WOW...
Staff and Managers are in constant competition to put others down for jobs and reviews.
They laid-off people last year.
Advice to Senior Management – Give staff the opportunity to prove themselves before making decisions to fast-track individuals.

Former Employee – worked at Plante Moran
Pros – Strong reputation in Michigan only.
Cons – Very poor pay for tax professionals (20+% lower than smaller and larger firms), certain ignorant partners, unbelievable poor employee relation skills of certain partners. Too many partners, they appear powerless or make themselves out to appear powerless. Clients end up suffering and paying for this in the end. Large turnover of exceptional talent and future talent due to the above factors.
Advice to Senior Management – Reduce the number of partners so you can pay senior staff and managers a competitive salary. Certain partners unwilling to accept the reality of how underpaid senior staff and managers are.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
