Pros
I have worked at Schellman & Company, LLC for over 14 years. It is very difficult to find a place of employment where you are extremely happy with everything including what the company stands for. I believe this begins with the leadership (Principals and Managers). They are some of the most incredible people I know both on a personal and professional level. I can’t think of a member that isn’t extremely honest, humble, genuine, supportive and passionate. The vision, direction and action plan of the leadership at Schellman can be defined by the incredible growth, retention rate of employees and employee sentiment. The culture that leadership has built empowers the employee. Every idea, concern or suggestion made by an employee is taken into consideration and addressed when possible. I can’t stress enough the depths Schellman goes to ensure that ideas, concerns or suggestions are considered or looked into as a standard practice. Outside of the professional support, the benefits provided to every employee are among the best in the market and any market for that matter. The quality and quantity of benefits and fringe benefits illustrate how important each employee is at Schellman. In addition, technology is important to allow the streamlining of processes and preventing the menial mundane tasks. There isn’t another accounting firm that is more technologically advanced and the improvements continue on a daily basis making it possible to accomplish more, in less time. With all sincerity this is an incredible place to work and I feel extremely grateful and blessed to have the opportunity to work here. I honestly cannot imagine working anywhere else. I truly think you are joining a family where each member of leadership and the company as a whole has extremely strong character, a focused moral compass and logic like I have never seen that allows for growth, success, and innovation.
Cons
Due to the extreme growth the work load can be a challenge at times. I will follow that up by saying that a number of key changes are currently being implemented to greatly improve efficiency and enable scalability for continued growth.
