Pros

Truthfully, there are very few good reasons to work at this company. If you are spending the time working do not waste your time here, this will be the job you remove from your resume.

Cons

RSM is a second tier firm and unfortunately their clients treat RSM like a second tier firm. It is one thing to move to a second tier firm and get a big boost in pay (you won't get this either) but it is another to move to a second tier firm and be treated like you work at a second tier firm. The culture is an "old boys club" and if you are not white and a bit overweight you will not be accepted. The company does not retain top talent, top talent comes and leaves very quickly. Very high matriculation. Lack of methodology and support, training is outsourced, computers provided are very cheap, the office supplies are minimal, don't expect any type of swag, be prepared to sign your life away for a thumb drive.

Pros

- As assurance associate that came over from another public accounting firm, some pros are the ability to work with several different teams. - Hybrid, 2-4 days in office - Learn from senior associates - At my last acct firm never did inventory observations, so got the chance to see what that was like here at RSM

Cons

- Some seniors associates aren’t able to explain or teach which plays a part in your development as a first year associate or intern. I feel first year, intern should be able to leave feedback on senior associates. As if I’m having trouble with a senior who am I supposed to go, due to the hierarchy system they have implemented at RSM. - Can be Clicky & your colleagues will be friends in your face and talk behind you behind your back, I’ve seen it happen to others so I’m pretty sure it happened to me. Houston office can be toxic - Hierarchy system, leave people thinking with senior job titles that they are above you and you can be treated like sh*t - Favortism, you don’t have an equal chance here, because every first year is not put in the same position to succeed. Some first years are able to work closely with partners and the same colleagues but different clients which is where they can have the opportunity to build great relationships while some have to bounce from senior to senior having to learn for each client and adapt to how the senior wants the job done which in turn doesn’t help build relationships. As one can senior want something done such as accounts payable one way then you get to another client and the senior wants accounts payable done another way which makes you look bad in their eyes. Which doesn’t set you up for success at all and can overall lead to a layoff.
