Could be alot better

Pros

Competitive pay and benefits; career advancement if you are lucky enough to work in a growing sector. Good holiday and end of season party. Partners/managing directors have an open door policy and in general can be easily approached. Pretty fair evaluation system.

Cons

There are too many office politics and games - just doing a great job will not get you anywhere. The company is confused about what culture it wants to have. The pay is decent, but too many hours are expected for the pay. Other than the CPA, the company does not encourage employees to seek out other designations. The company has a small town feel which appeals to some, but it needs to do a better job of hiring and promoting minorities (i.e. African American, Latinos, Asian, Jews). The company uses a variety of sneaky tactics to monitor employee's activity and ultimately get rid of employees they no longer want to keep. Unfortunately, it is not a comfortable environment to work in.

Worst place to work for

Pros

Nice people to work with, good technical resources.

Cons

Worst pay of any other firm whether big four or small firm. No perks. Management does not care what employees think, very bottom line driven, high turn over, management always tries to delay notifying employees of their annual increase and bonuses and promotion to delay paying the increased pay as much as possible, decisions are made in June and are effective in october. Most poeple who work here are miserable.

Pros

McGladrey is a great place to work if you're looking for a national firm that makes a strong effort to help you achieve a good work/life balance. McGladrey provides a great opportunity to achieve strong professional growth as it is a firm with national resources that serves middle market companies. You will find the majority of your experience involves working closely with your client's Sr. management team which you may not get by working at a "Big 4" firm. You will also find that the breadth and depth of your experience with McGladrey far exceeds that of experience with a "Big 4" firm.

Cons

Although McGladrey claims to offer competitive compensation it has been my experience that as I have progressed from an associate right out of college to the level of Supervisor McGladrey has lacked the ability to appropriately reward it's employees proportionately to the level of their contributions. I have seen too many instances that McGladrey will consistently fail to recognize their top performers.
