This might be a lengthy response but at least it will help someone out there who’s thinking of joining this company location. Firstly, when you start out, expect it to be slow. Next, when you had downtime they don’t train you or help you learn but suddenly expect you to do well during busy season. If you walk into busy season as a new hire, expect the staff and managers you work with to give you a hard time and not be willing to help you because they’re more worried about the partners image and so will rush you to get things done and if you want to ask for help, they’ll give you the runaround and then note it on you performance check. I completed my first busy season and I literally could not believe how incompetent the team I was assigned was on trying to help me learn what to do. Instead gave me a bunch of excuses, expectations were not set clearly and then would be upset if I couldn’t sit at the client site till late because they were the ones who told me to drive the other temporary employee back and forth but did not communicate this to the partner so put this on my performance check also. After this, I sat unscheduled for weeks on end and kept getting the runaround of “budget cuts so we would need to wait to be scheduled.” On a random day I log in and I have a teams invite from HR randomly and that to was just for them to tell me I am being laid off without a warning due to not meeting expectations. Like make it make sense? It’s my first year, I wasn’t scheduled enough to know what to do and then the first thing they do is throw me onto the one of the biggest teams and expect me to know what I’m doing? So unprofessional. They need to get rid of the current assurance market managing principle because he’s a joke. When I got hired this man decided to lay off employees and now while I’ve been here for less than a year he’s doing the same. They don’t care about their employees but more about their budget and how to cut it down so they can save the most for the higher ups. Would not recommend this place.
