HA&W – “New accountants should definitely look elsewhere”

Pros

Fairly convenient office location
Well known firm name

Cons

Everyone for themselves mentality from the partners on down
High layoff rate
They acquire other firms and don't absorb them into the company so it's like several different CPA firms working in the same office space, the right hand never knows what the left is doing, it's one giant cluster

Advice to Senior Management

Train and mentor your staff, invest in them so you have loyal employees instead of turning them over season after season
Build a team mentality
Don't just let your staff sink or swim without giving them all the opportunity to succeed that you can
