Pros

You have new clients and new projects to work on so you're not bored with the same people and work every day.

Cons

Low pay, sub-par benefits, and verbal abuse. When I first met everyone from the company, one of the first things said to me was, "Has Jim screamed at you yet?" He seemed nice and upbeat, hence the manic episodes of someone with bipolar disorder. The partners are on edge because they have a terrible leader ready to put them on the chopping block at his whim. Bullies are ready to devour new people and it's tolerated by upper management. Consultants are not valued and truly seen as disposable workhorses. The ADRs are set up in an absurdly ineffective system for bringing in new leads and are literally the laughing stock of the entire company. The BDRs are a group of young women (some of which act like trashy bimbos) who are trained on ancient and irrelevant sales tactics instead of being educated on the accounting and finance principles they are selling--they know nothing about accounting. The company as a whole knows nothing about technology and they are living in the dark ages. This carries over to the client, because we only know to recommend NetSuite or Quickbooks, which misses the mark in terms of what should be offered to the client base. Our internal accounting team is tasked with staying until 11PM on alternating Fridays to get everything completed as they are at the mercy of when consultants submit time cards. This company is ruled by fear and redundant 6, 7, & 8 AM meetings. You'll be comparing your paycheck with colleagues scratching your head as you think, " I worked way too hard for this".

Thank you for your honesty and input. It’s true that when a company goes through growing pains the environment can change and that can lead to stressful situations. NOW CFO is committed to the company culture and have made significant investments in the business this year by hiring a new COO, President, CFO, head of HR and head of marketing to help manage our growth while ensuring NOW CFO remains a great place to work.
