      A Learning Experience - Staff Accountant Sikich Employee Review

      Staff accountant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Good learning opportunity, generally not reprimanded for mistakes. Encouraged to ask questions and propose ideas. Learn a lot about what not to do. Managers do typically stay in the loop and tend to operate with an open-door policy. Managers do try to paint the full picture for us and emphasize the importance of our roles. Can be difficult to get into other departments/positions but it is possible. Unlimited PTO if you're liked enough to not be watched under a magnifying glass. BCBS insurance with great premiums/deductible. Lots of free mental health webinars available.

      Cons

      Overworked and underpaid. Can be very draining. Persistent (unpaid) OT. Expected to take on additional, more difficult and time consuming work without increasing pay. Bonus only $500 annually for staff accountants. Raises insultingly low for the work & time put in and do not keep up with rent increases let alone inflation on everything else (I'm talking 1% low). Encouraged to tolerate nonsense and inappropriate behavior from people just because "they've been here forever". Many people can get very unprofessional (not the fun way), including people in HR. Can be cliquey. Some people do micromanage, some undermanage. Many people don't correct their mistakes and leave for others to fix. Overall seems from the turnover in this specific position, the company works people as hard as they can until they burn out then it tries to get them to quit once they can no longer keep that pace up🤷

      We take feedback seriously so that we can continually improve our organization, so thank you for your comments. Our recruiting team and hiring managers do their best to set expectations for work hours and workload during the hiring and onboarding process. Positions like staff accountant are considered exempt and salaried and are therefore not subject to overtime pay. If there were issues you felt could not be brought to your immediate HR business partner or your direct manager, we have other avenues such as contacting our CHRO directly, or connecting with our Navex, confidential hotline where an investigation could be conducted. Thank you, again, and we wish you all the best.

      Business outlook

      Pros

      - remote work culture that began before covid and has continued - manageable billable hour goals and doesn’t penalize employees for time on the bench between projects - did not do layoffs during government shutdown like some other firms did

      Cons

      - no formal training plan for new hires or current employees - no automatic COLA adjustments (raises are on merit only) - not a ton of diversity but is improving - multiple recent reorganizations as firm grows (impacts management, little to no impact for staff)

      Thank you for sharing your experience, and for the positive observations about our company! We agree it's a great place to work. We encourage you to reach out to your manager to learn more about the training and development opportunities available to all employees, including new hires, through Sikich University. Those courses, along with more information, are also accessible via our intranet site under the LCVista app. Thanks, again!

      Pros

      Decent place to get Federal audit experience. Good health insurance benefits

      Cons

      Salary and raises (2% raise for meeting expectations, 3% raises for exceeding expectations). Absolutely awful and doesn't even keep pace with inflation, meaning even after the raises you're financially worse off than the year prior. Principals/Management seems to be disjointed with feedback full of corporate jargon rather than substantive examples and helpful guidance. Pressures to become a Top 10/15 ($1B+ revenue) company seems to have neglected organic growth. Private Equity investment has began to transform pressures from the top down. CEO using the word "family" in regards to the company, when the treatment is anything but how you would treat family.
