Everything else. Management is nonexistent and openly states that they do not want to manage staff, so don't expect career guidance, helpful feedback, or opportunities for growth. Expect to get assigned whatever rolls downhill, because partners / senior staff doesn't want to do it.
Compensation is below market and benefits are WELL below competitors. Raises are lower than other firms too.
Interns are known for "failing up". Those who don't get offers, go to Big 4 firms and have better careers, pay, work/life balance. Those who get offers and accept them actually end up worse off.
Take special note of the employment contract that requires that you give notice, but that they can then "accelerate" your notice period and not pay you for this time. This is in line with the MANY ethical failings of this firm and its management.
The CEO rose up within the firm, so its all he knows and the answer from him and all management to why things are done the way they are is "because they've always been done this way." A failure of Management 101. The nickname for CEO Joe Adams, of "Joke" Adams is well-deserved.
If you like anti-social and undercutting co-workers and management, and being confined to a beige cubicle for the next decade of your life, with little-to-no career opportunities upon exit (because you weren't at Big 4 or a firm anyone has heard of... "what is RSM?" then this may be an option for you. Most of the happy employees are those who saw their parents struggle to come to this country and make a living wage, so they are grateful for working in a professional firm and making an above-living-wage, so they don't mind being openly treated like replaceable parts of a machine.
