Cohen & Company

It never bothered me to go to work at this hardware store. I was very friendly and familiar with the staff because they were so comforting. I was lucky to be doing big tasks at even a young age. I liked answering phone calls and being so young, all the work seemed fun because it was. My favorite part would be having a long line of customers and ringing them up at the cash register in a minimum of 5 minutes. It was such a rush of all the people and I loved it. The hardest part of the job was giving my full attention to each of the customers all at the same time. Sometimes I would have to answer a phone call while assisting someone who's paying for their items. Overall, it was a job that kept me on my toes and I really liked it.

Responsible for expense, interest, dividend, capital, and amortization testing of the portfolios of a large investment bank worth over $1 billion in annual revenue, an investment management firm worth over $2 billion, and a global asset manager worth over $200 billion in net assets. Assisted with writing consent, management responsibility letters, and opinion letters on behalf of the company. Worked on net asset rollforwards, working trial balances, footing the annual financial statements prospectus and statement of additional information, and final analytical procedures.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Loved my job here and my direct supervisors were so supportive always! 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Tax Season - just the long days, but we were always given breakfast & lunches. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Cohen & Co for me was always fun and different every day. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Never micromanaging and you had a job to do and you are always given ample time to complete tasks.

I was an intern and did not know a lot of things at first, but everyone was willing to help even during the busy season. They have a very friendly environment. Most offices have some entertainment place such as ping pong table. Company wide also have the "happy hour" every Friday around 4 in the afternoon where people can have the chance to end the week, or the day if they have to work Saturday, with a cold beer at the office.

Cohen and Company is a really great place to work. They have a very detailed and structured procedure for handling all of your day to day task. They do offer good benefits and excellent PTO accrual. My only concern was that leadership sometimes did not communicate with you openly and efficiently. Other than that, go for it!

Company is growing enormously so pain of that was felt through lack of communication / expectations. Sometimes felt like the review process for performance was not a priority. Too many job specific reviews. Staff development area in advisory needs major work. Culture was fun and work life balance was decent. Great clients.

This particular department expects you to learn via web call instead of you having someone sit with you side by side. Everyone doesn’t learn the same way especially if it’s a fast past environment you would want to feel comfortable in learning the way that suits you.

A typical day in an accounting firm can be very routine but during tax season hold on to your hat. The hours can be long and you are dealing with very sensitive information but it is also amazing when dealing with tax codes and how individuals interprete them.

I enjoyed working for Cohen & Company.  Pay and benefits are good.  Only negative is they pushed business development to all employees. Management was great.  I never felt like I was just a number.

Its an accounting firm, so in busy season its fast paced, and they expect about 70 hours per week. A lot of times you will be told that the overseer doesn't have time to teach and to just 'figure it out'.
