I thought it was too good to be true, too. - Senior Associate Schellman Employee Review

- The People - The Perks - The Parties - The Peace The People: I'm going to break this down layer by layer and keep it real. The people you work with here, are real. I have some Big 4 experience and one of my dislikes was the constant robotic banter and I don't get that here. When we are working, we are working. We are getting it done. This is a job; we are here to provide quality and superior product. There isn't that undertone of competition among co-workers which is incredibly refreshing. You come in to work each day to take on that project and it's just "understood" that the colleague you are assigned to that project with has your back. There's a finish line and you're both watching out for one-another's status to ensure the work is done and done right. The people - rock. The Perks - I would just like to shout out Lori Jendrucko. << I'm not sure if I'm allowed to do that on here but I sincerely would like to show my gratitude. Lori was the first interaction I had with Schellman&Co when I considered joining. The majority of our conversation it seemed like was her explaining the laundry list of perks and then responding to my overly cautious questioning of the perks. Not a few; A Laundry List. I called my wife after my conversation with Lori because I didn't have pen and paper on me during our conversation and I didn't want to forget some of the perks -- There are that many. I told you at the start of this review that I am keeping it real. Hopefully you get a chance to speak to Lori and she can give you the laundry list of perks because there are honestly too many for me to list and I would surely forget some. *Refer to perks listed in other reviews The Parties - I'm going to be suspiciously brief in this portion of my review. You need to experience the annual company retreat on your own. I noted my past work experience above. I used to think Holiday parties were pretty cool. Then I joined Schellman&Co. We don't have a holiday party. If you are looking for a holiday party you need to sign up elsewhere. I traded in the 3 hour holiday party and got a 3 night stay at a luxury hotel for me and my wife once a year. Pay attention to the details my friends; they go all out. #PartyLife The Peace - This chunk of my review is the most interesting because it wasn't what I signed up for but has become a major Pro in my personal life. The peace. Like I said earlier in my review, we are here to get the work done. Since the communication on the ground is good, the work gets done efficiently and weekends you are not bothered. I am knocking on wood as I type these words but to date I have not felt "interrupted" during a weekend by a Schellman&Co employee. Surely an email may come through with a question about Monday logistics or a buddy asking you for a restaurant review but nobody is messing with your family time over a review note -- if you get my gist. I truly hope this review helps you out; Schellman is the real deal.
