Pros
-You are valued for what you think and the work product you create. The work is rewarding. It requires you to think and learn. -You get to be the "good guy" recovering undue tax paid to ineffectively run governments and redistributing it to the client. -Salary and benefits are competitive. Pays 80 percent of your cell phone bill, tuition reimbursement... -Excellent work life balance. Work when and where you want to, just get the job done (depending on your manager that is)
Cons
-Over aggressive growth targets. Since 1991, Ryan has achieved a year-after-year growth rate of 20 percent. This kind of growth rate is unsustainable for any company. To continue sustaining the 20 percent growth rate, Ryan has acquired companies that do not align very well with its business model (e.g., Thompson Reuters Tax Compliance). The added debt from these acquisitions has caused Ryan's culture to suffer by adding more stress to bring in revenue. -The 5-year sabbatical benefit should be done away with. Upon reaching 5 years with the company, Ryan says it will let you take a 1 month paid sabbatical. The fine print however says you have to remain employed for one full year after taking the sabbatical, otherwise you will have to pay back the company one month's salary. And you also need to get executive level approval before taking the sabbatical. Just get rid of the sabbatical. It's not really a benefit when you have to jump through so many hoops to enjoy it. -No Christmas parties anymore, really? "Of all the cheap lousy ways to save a buck!" - National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation -401k match is decent, but still a little weak
