RSM reviews

Toxic work culture. The management are driven by targets and pile pressure on the more junior members of staff to make themselves look better. Any small mistakes get blown out of all proportion and the managers do not accept responsibility for anything, instead looking for the first person to blame. The workload is intense (not including the busy seasonal periods), with staff routinely working long past their paid hours, with no TOIL or overtime offered. They claim to be a 'premium' company, but there is no investment in automation or technology. All 'premium' means is that the client fees increase way beyond inflation with no improvement in the service or product delivered.

- Weak training- they send you to Chicago for a two-day conference, you learn nothing, I couldn't even get the software to run on my trainer laptop, they do not even cover the basics (I only realize in hindsight years later how terrible it was) - Hostile work environment, managers bully staff and provide little guidance -Competition is highly encouraged, the work you get is first come, first serve (you basically have to wake up early in the morning to steal work from the workpool that others take from) - Returns are not labeled by complexity, you know nothing about the client, prep notes are terrible. We would only have a trial balance and an excel GL detail. - No training or guidance on how to communicate with clients, basically this job is absolutely terrible if you're entry level (unless someone takes pity on you and mentors you, did not happen with me) - We had cringey zoom meetings every week where the CEO would talk about his peloton for 20 minutes before telling us that the company is doing great but still need to fire people, NICE - Very few male employees, weird bias towards women (I only had two male coworkers and like 12 women accountants, all 5 managers and the partner were women) - No one wants to share knowledge; you only learn what the person right above you wants you to learn. No surprise there. - No one helps you, because it creates double billing and no one wants their time marked down (hurts precious metrics)
