Grant Thornton, LLP Reviews in Dallas, TX

Current Employee – been working at Grant Thornton, LLP full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Nice client base--lots of interesting closely held firms. Fair pay and a fairly brisk promotion path up to senior manager level.

Cons – Firm is run by audit partners, so promotions to partner in other practice areas are rare. They'd rather lose a promising senior manager and replace him/her with an experienced director who isn't on the partner track.

Advice to Senior Management – Give us something to aspire to by occasionally promoting a senior manager to partner (or a director to managing director) in a practice area other than audit.

Pros – You learn a lot fast because there are a ton of very unique projects to be worked on. The people are friendly and easy to get along with. The Dallas office is especially growing fast and there should be room for career advancement.

Cons – The hours are ridiculous. The problem is that GT is growing so fast and doesn't have enough people coming in and staying. The people coming in get so overwhelmed and quit which just puts the burden back on everyone else (associates and seniors) to pick up the work load while at the same time trying to train new hires before they get too overwhelmed and quit too. It is a vicious cycle.

Advice to Senior Management – GT needs to raise the standards for hires in the "high growth" offices. What happens is a weaker candidate comes in and wastes money and everyones time to just quit in the end. GT needs people but the people GT needs are standouts from top tier schools. These students would be better at handling the "growing pains". Then our practice will start to take shape since we will have higher retention.
