4 Aug 2022 - Staff Accountant in Washington, DCRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Name recognition. Snacks in the office. Good exposure to private equity and fund management. Good place to work for a couple years as a launching pad to get a better job and to learn what not to do in management. That's is.
Cons
You get paid but not great and they work you to the bone for it. They give you PTO but won't let you take it or make you feel horrible about it if you do. Upper management consists of manipulative yes-men that will throw you under the bus at a moments notice. Completely unprofessional, toxic work environment with zero sense of boundaries. Employees are expected to work on numerous company and federal holidays. Huge disparity in pay between the DMs (100-200k+) versus the Staff and Senior (40-70k). No upward mobility. LOOOOOONNNNG work hours (try 8AM to 10PM) churning out transactions like a machine. Management asks an unreasonable amout of employees during busy season instead of hiring more employees. Lots of turnover especially recently as they have gone back to a hybrid model and are forcing everyone to come in 2-3 times a week on top of 60+ hour work week. Forced comraderie with no genuine care or interest in their employees. Completely two faced. Pay is not competitive at all. Was glad to move on. Would not recommend this job to anyone.
