MBE CPAs

They offered firm-wide promotions for zero compensation adjustment. No bonus for staff accountants, and raises were barely COLA adjustments - not performance raises (even though they were marketed as performance reviews). Partners in my office had no grasp on their workload management. Pay was way below market in public accounting. Promoting non-CPA's to managers ensured knowledge gaps. Upper Management is not good at acquiring firms.  Conversion to the acquired firm was poorly handled in my office. No feedback or review points on returns I worked on was given. Not good for learning public accounting. 

From day one, I’ve been told to find my passion and make my own niche. I’m encouraged to pursue my strengths, flesh out my weaknesses, and given the flexibility and respect to do so. I’ve never been micromanaged and I’m always treated with respect and dignity. Ive also been given flexibility of my work schedule to balance my home life and my professional goals. I’d love to be paid more, but I know with hard work, I will soon be making my goal salary. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Flexible schedule and the coworkers 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Their lack of training, transparency, and rude comments from upper management 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Hostile, stressful, unorganized, gossipy. very much like high school 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Very routine day in and day out. Crunching our returns, bookkeeping and responding to management comments

Great environment for growth, their ability and willingness to take my strengths and interests and adapt my position to my goals is a real delight. Nice folks to work with and great office space. Focused on  their core values and continually work on improving their processes. Open to new ideas and willing to listen to any employee.

Company has many great benefits & perks, although some are going away. Upper management has many ideas about the company, but does not care about working staff input on day to day operations for success.  Training is sub-par if you don't know to ask for direction & help.  Get the feeling like they care more about $$ than their staff.

I would not apply here. Was a very difficult company to work for. No support for new employees. Training was not great. My workload was not organized well, and I lost out on hours some weeks because management did not plan accordingly. I would highly advise looking elsewhere for employment. 

While working at MBE I was degraded, made to clean the office, take out Garbage  even when the stairs were snow and ice covered.  The partner told me to grow a set of balls.  After falling down the stairs after a snow. I was asked to sign a release for workcomp claim just days after the fall. Later had shoulder surgery and still have back pain.   Was put on antidepressants because of the work environment

Provides good service to clients, but the profitability and realization are most important to the partner group.  The firm's core values and mission statement are not followed.  They are there for marketing purposes only.  Firm has several good people, but that does not make them a good employer.

The workplace is toxic. They want “robot” instead of humans. The hardest part of the job is being said “no projects for now” and they expected you to reach your billable hours. Unbelievable. They do not care about working staff input on day-to-day operations for success. Please look for something else if necessary.

Management will complain employees between themselves with their doors open so that the entire office can hear.  Management is unable to control temper and belittles staff in front of other workers.  If you are one of their staff accountants you are nothing to them.  Management really needs to attend some management classes and gain some respect for people.
