Grant Thornton International – “Okay Place to Work”

Pros

Okay place to work. GT promotes work life balance. Compensation is comparable to other firms similar in size. Management provides proper feedback. Senior management is approachable. There is room to advance in the future to more senior positions. Management is fair in deciding compensation for each year. GT provides 3 weeks of vacation compared to 2 weeks offered by some other employers.

Cons

Only 50% of medical and dental premiums are paid by GT. No fitness reimbursement or other such benefits are provided. No overtime compensation or other OT policies (i.e., banking of overtime - offered by some of the other mid-size firms).

Advice to Senior Management

Need to ensure work is allocated fairly amongst employees as employees are required to work excessive OT all year around.
