Pros
* Public accounting experience * Learning what management techniques motivate people and what techniques do not.
Kontras
* Current audit software was internally developed and is a consistent work in process. * Partners are sales focused only under Jim Powers and have left the client development segment up to the managers, that normally pass the buck to the seniors. * Managers to Staff are graded on hours worked rather than quality of work and current client engagement. * Cast (Mostly Non-Accountants) are hired in at low salaries and expected to perform 40% of engagements to bring up the realizations. * Experienced, loyal employees are being let go in order to improve financials, leaving inexperienced teams. (This has been going on since 2016) * Partners are in a disarray as they do not all buy into the firm's future. * Employee moral is extremely low
