Terrible company - Financial Analyst FirstService Residential Employee Review

Pros

No pros. Very long hours. Accounting software is not accurate so you are stuck manually fixing reports. Microsoft programs always crashing or corrupting. Upper management apparently thinks ownership of people still exists. Upper management will work you to the bone. If she doesn't like you, she will make it miserable for you. Upper management does absolutely nothing throughout the day. They are not knowledgeable in accounting whatsoever.

Cons

Terrible company to work for. Also, illegal reporting is something they are involved in. Reporting is very messy and they should be embarrassed on what they produce for clients.

Pros

Great company culture with strong core values and a collaborative environment. As a remote employee, the flexibility and work-life balance are a huge plus. The IT environment is also very dynamic — there are multiple systems, platforms, and technologies in use, so the work rarely feels repetitive or boring. The company is supportive of employee growth and development, offering training opportunities and access to a large online learning library. Another positive sign is the number of long-term employees; many people have been with the company for 5+ years, which says a lot about overall employee satisfaction and stability.

Cons

The company frequently changes business processes and technologies. While innovation is good, it can sometimes feel like just when you’ve fully mastered a system or workflow, a new tool or process is introduced. Workload can also fluctuate depending on business initiatives and project demands. Because it’s a large organization, there are a lot of layers of leadership — supervisors, managers, directors, VPs, etc. At times, it can be unclear who the correct point of contact or decision-maker is for certain situations.
