Not what I expected based on my recruitment

Pros

This is a nation firm so there is some name recognition. It is a job so you do get paid.

Cons

They do not seem to follow the stated track for promotions. If you are a brown-noser, you can climb the ladder here. If you just dig in and do good work, do not expect to be rewarded for it. There has been a lot of turnover recently and to combat it, they bring in people from outside firms/industry who are behind the legacy McGladrey employees however get paid more.

Pros

Opportunity to be part of a growing company, especially in Consulting. I have been fortunate to have great personal and professional experiences within my group and even with my client(s). I am never scared to approach my boss for anything.

Cons

McGladrey's name is not yet as well recognized as that of the big four accounting firms.

Pros

The best reason to work at McGladrey is it is a national firm and you can get your experience to get your CPA license

Cons

Plenty of downsides. The leadership at this firm does not know what it is doing. We are continually receiving emails telling us how great changes will be (such as the Partners reacquiring RSM McGladrey) however it looks like all it is helping is the Partners and Directors. There has been a ton of turnover in the past few months and it has left the rest of us with more on our plate than we can handle.
