*Favorism in upper management is obviously and allowed. If you are well liked, you are seen as untouchable. You can be rude, spread rumors, exhibit unprofessional behavior, and you will still be promoted into management.
*Bullying/gossip is tollerated/brushed under the table.
*You WILL do work that is above your pay grade and you will be told this is acceptable.
*Managers are placed in their position based on their tax knowledge alone, not their ability to manage or lead a team.
*Pay is below the industry average; raises don't keep up with inflation. The starting rate for a new hire increases at a higher rate each year than the raises for current staff. How would YOU feel if your peers with 2 years experience were out earning peers with 5, 6, 10+ years of experience? For the same job title and responsibilities? It is very sad.
*Little room for long term growth/advancement.
*Lack of communication from upper management - you will play a game of telephone when receiving both tasks and performance feedback from those above you. You will be expected to tolerate this.
*Lack of transparency.
*Very little flexibility (i.e. very few work from home days).
*No overtime compensation for salaried employees.
