Advice to Senior Management

Other than mentioned above, no comments

Pros

The firm has gives its new hires the opportunity to try out both tax and audit prior to choosing a specialty.

Cons

Management is oblivious to what is going on in the office or are unwilling to try to understand how their staff feel. Favoritism is a major issue in the LA office. Also, due the the dwindling number of clients that the office has and the inability to obtain new ones, staff will not get a sufficient accounting experience needed to progress in their careers. The usual problems of being a mid-tier accounting firm with small to mid-sized companies are also prevalent (unsophisticated clients and clients with the inability to grasp simple accounting principles).

Advice to Senior Management

Listen to your employees and open your eyes to what is going on around you. Do not rely on here-say to base your opinions on employees. Promotions and praise should be based on merit instead of favoritism. Partners and managers should think about how their actions will be perceived by their subordinates.
