No work-life balance. No progression. Awful management.

Pros

Free fruit in the kitchen

Cons

No work-life balance. No progression. Management are terrible. Morale is awful and staff turnover is incredibly high. It would be higher but some people are trapped in Visa agreements.

Needs to better manage their growth.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Smaller firm that allows for more exposure at the earlier stages of employment.

Cons

BDO is rapidly growing and have failed to realize that staff retention is important. The focus is evidently on hiring then comes the lack of supervision, poor training, and unprofessional culture.

Support staff needs better support

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The culture is decent, and can improve upon it by hiring more people of color.

Cons

As a former member of the admin support team, the group needs better support from upper management and from HR in regards to handling conflict amongst one another and amongst the professional staff (Tax and Audit people). Admin support also needs better wages and better raises. Also, it should not be required for Admin support to complete performance reviews or to set goals, especially if there isn't a position above their current role that they can work towards (and especially if there are no positions being created for admin support can be promoted to).
