Advice to Senior Management

Learn how to use the audit software, its not 1975 anymore. How can we expect to learn when the managers have no idea how to use computers?

Pros

Its got a great sundae bar. The People are nice. Free donuts if you stay late, but not always, maybe in just mky department.

Cons

Ok, first off, the smell. What is with that? I see people vacuuming all the time. Otherwise, take it if you can get it, They aren't going anywhere for a long time. you really gotta be like a walking encyclopedia to rank up.

Pros

Work life balance, flexibility, travel options, opportunities to advance

Cons

Low pay, forced to travel

Pros

A lot of nice and smart people work there. Great place to gain experience as exposure to all aspects of audit and direct contact with management almost from the first day.

Cons

No work-life balance. Great amount of overtime and everybody thinks that's the way it should be. Budgets are set too low and goals are set too high - it is impossible to achieve both at the same time and at the end of the day the evaluation rating will suffer.

Advice to Senior Management

Turnover rate could be significantly lower only if budgets would meet expectations. Consider asking why some employees work so much overtime (is the employee ineficient or the employer failed to schedule the right team) and correct it rather than promote it.

Pros

Great learning experience and good tools to learn with. People are willing to help you develop and people take pride in the firm at the upper levels.

Cons

Compensation and benefits are terrible in comparison to Big 4 and smaller firms. Depending on the location and team the hours can be just as much as Big 4.

Advice to Senior Management

Timely communicate bonuses and promotions to the employees and have them take affect similar to when other firms do. Treat your employees like you care a little.

Pros

The clients are great to work with at RSM McGladrey. That is the only part of the firm that I enjoyed!

Cons

Credit is not given where credit is due! You are held accountable to stuff that has no bearing on your job description! The Partners lie to your face and talk about you behind your back!

Pros

Clients are large local or regional companies instead of global. This enables you to reach further into the client's senior management than you would at a Big 4.

Cons

Growth outside of the firm are limited because of a lack of brand name recognition with this, the fifth largest firm.

Advice to Senior Management

Get bigger clients!
