The partnership structure of the firm means that the other employees suffer when it comes to compensation. A high turnover rate is created at lower levels because the compensation compared to similar jobs elsewhere is drastically lower and that affects the quality of work performed. At times the type of work can become very repititive for individuals and EY personnel don't always take the time to notice this and help the individual have a change of pace. Professionals can find themselves pigeonholed into a type of specialty they are not interested in and feel the only way to get the change they desire is by leaving the firm.
