Business Outlook

Pros

Steep learning curve and ability to gain a wide array of accounting and audit experience quickly. McGladrey offers unparalleled access to mid sized companies and the ability to work with management/ownership of many clients.

Cons

Although McGladrey markets itself as being a company strongly focused on work life balance, few if any of their programs to follow through on that tag line are effective or realistic.

If you do well without a ton of support this could be a good place for you.

Business Outlook

Pros

The people are nice and all tend to get along pretty well, this makes for an environment without much tension.

Cons

This was formerly a smaller local firm, the left over people from that firm are still pretty much in charge. The issue with this is that these same people get very nervous around people who they are worried have potential to show them up and make them look bad to the rest of the firm that has a larger firm mentality.

Business Outlook

Pros

Feels like a small firm but has national opportunities and great national training opportunities. Great people to work with. Hours are long, but only during busy season.

Cons

RSM is comprised of many different mergers. In the phoenix office, there are three different companies that are all technically functioning as one, but there is absolutely no unity between them. There are so many differences between the three different merger companies that they don't work together, and it creates a lot of office politics. Once they get things standardized (it hasn't happened after three years) it will be a completely different company to work for - not sure if its for the best though.
