Pros

Free tap water (all you can drink)

Cons

Not in any particular order: They are NOT paperless lol they use cardboard folders (make sure to bring your rubberbands to wrap the files) They use this software that is in DOS environment! No 401K matching No Medical flex spending Most people have attitude No work-life balance No training upon employment The job description that I was told and promised during the interview were way different with reality They just hired me for the busy season (because they were short in staff) causing me to leave my previous job where I was very comfortable High turn-over (there must be something that so many people leave!)

We are sorry you had a negative experience, but we pride ourselves on being transparent and forthcoming with interview candidates and their recruiters in order to find the best fit possible. Sometimes we find with new employees that their skill set isn't a match for the role we hired them for, in that case we need to part ways to ensure our clients are getting the best service possible. We are still searching for a good candidate to thrive in a firm where more complex client matters exist so this is definitely not a tax season only position. We also appreciate the feedback about work/life balance, as this is something we have put a lot of thought into improving the past few years. We think we've made great strides, but at the end of the day we are tax accountants, and the months of March & April will always be busy for us! The bookkeeping software program we use, Datafaction, is widely considered to be the industry standard for business management firms. In addition we also use Prosystem, Slack, and Salesforce. While we are happy to offer free tap water :), we also provide full beverage fridges, an espresso machine, and catered lunches and dinners during tax season.

Pros

Beautiful office in Beverly Hills, not a lot of overtime.

Cons

stressful at times, HR department doesn't have employee's best interest, most people aren't happy in their current position. The office has an open floor plan so it's very quiet. Andrew is neurotic and micro manages staff when unnecessary. Not pleasant to work with. No room for growth. Only from Assistant to Account Manager. No 401k match. 2 weeks vacation. 5 sick days per year.
