Ryan, LLC

You are initially brought into the company believing that you will see fair work-life balance, flexibility in the schedule, and leader ship that you can trust and cares about you. As you dig further, you realize that this is a company growing too fast for its own good with management teams that might as well be different jobs entirely. What I mean by this is that the above qualities, I mentioned bring you into the company are not held at a consistent standard throughout the company. I have seen leaders and managers that expect too much and do not care about work life balance, or fair training and have the sink or swim mentality. I have also seen managers who are quite the opposite. One thing that is consistent in my view is that many people feel overworked. You will likely see many members of staff, come and go, there will be chaos, and you will never really have a chance to feel comfortable. In my experience, at least, this was the case. I am positive that not all of Rian is like this because of how vastly different the teams are. My issue is that that’s the case. If you were going to be a company that promotes a certain work style and lifestyle, then you need to live up to it and your expectations in the eyes of your employees is higher. Nobody is expecting good work and life balance from KPMG, for example and they never advertise it. Unfortunately, from my experience at Ryan, it has felt like a bait and switch. While my position pays well, money does not make up for misery.

In the department I was in, I had to learn the job from scratch.  Training was done with no way to practice at all on the system until a couple weeks later.  At that point, most of what was learned was lost.  My direct managers tried to help, but when it just wasn't working (the training) they got upset and distant.  They need professional trainers to work with the software.  Once the software was changed, a great trainer came in and the job became understandable.  

While still struggling with my initial client, I was given another client, which was a lot more complex.  In training (and asked for secondary training) I was told, "This is one of the easier clients."  comments like that didn't help at all and were more demeaning.  With the process I had to do for this new client, I would ask why we did something a certain way (it is how I learn) and I was told, don't worry about the why, just do the process.

Finally, if you are not part of the manager's circle, you will have a hard time.  There were three groups in my department.  the manager's inner circle, the manager's outer circle, and those just out entirely.  If you were part of the inner circle or outer circle, you were good, those in the out group, might as well brush off your resume.

What is the best part of working at the company?
They do treat their employee very well in terms of benefits.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I never experienced it personally, but there are lots of deadlines for filing financial documents, legal forms and business proposals. I received many last-minute requests from various clients requesting support.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Transparent and open in terms of company performance and plans, at least on the surface. But like any large corporation there are lots of things that everyday employees aren't privy to. I did notice that pretty much all the employee recognition events focused exclusively on senior-level executives. I can't recall a single lay person being singled out on a monthly management call.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I interacted with Practice heads, team leaders and various business development team to provide marketing support. I then scheduled and oversaw marketing projects, including creative direction, content development, timelines, client approvals and approvals and final delivery.

Manager never managed people until promoted into the position. Enjoyed the job until enforced RTO due to managements lack of trust and transferred under a manger who didn’t manage anything but the division of work, never motivated the team. The company would entice you in the door with a dream career goal, flexible work-life balance, “like-family,” culture and AMAZING health benefits but once hired it’s not anything of the sort. If you’re hourly they will stack you with so much work that you need to pull overtime to stay on time and overtime is required leading to no life other than work. Analysts are not treated the same as any other position, all of them are females and they are hardly ever promoted and are never promoted to consulting. It takes two years to grasp the analyst position yet they have a high turnover, paid the least, require the most hours and forced into the office for management to not be there. Burn out is prevalent and a toxic work life is normal for analysts. I do believe, if I had a manager with management experience and was motivating, I would still be there with better perspective of the company.

Log into system and check email for any open tickets needing resolved.
On-board new employees walking through email setup of signatures, network folders and permissions giving the different application they will be using and if if any issues arise our contact info.
35% of time I was traveling to other Ryan locations within the USA to move offices and setup systems and computer back on network and configure printers to the network. Move most users to new Network folders location. 
hardest part was there was to much competition and click-ish situations going on. alot of walking down behind peoples back to the higher ups that may not be true in hopes to help advanced there career.

most enjoyable part is the stability if you just d your job. and the quarterly bonus and travel. Also most employees was being team players which I truly believe in especially when working on project that require timelines.

Working at Ryan truly feels like being part of something special. As a global organization, it offers an impressive array of benefits and perks. So extensive, in fact, that some people think it's too good to be true. But it's very real and it’s a culture that simply can’t be beat. The level of support, resources, and flexibility the company provides to its employees is unlike anything else.
I work in one of the smaller offices, which brings a close-knit, community feel to our daily work. Despite the company’s global scale, it hasn’t lost its human touch. Our leadership team is incredibly down to earth, approachable, and genuinely fun to work with. They create an environment where people feel seen, heard, and appreciated. This company has found the sweet spot between world class infrastructure and a grounded, personal culture. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Good pay, unlimited PTO, CEO and COO are extremely intelligent and growing the company rapidly. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
First line management was inconsiderate of me and was instrumental in eliminating my position.  No noice or indication of losing a job after seven years of service is unconscionable. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It was stressful and most people worked heads down.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Worked from home as much as possible but loved what I was doing. Very fast-paced and interesting work-typical day flew by with various different tasks and interactions with peers and other teams.

I worked as a summer intern in the Atlanta office for the Commercial Real Property Consulting arm of Ryan, LLC. The people there were all great to work with, and there was a strong team culture. Everyone there was intelligent, hard-working, and reasonable to deal with. Training was given strong attention, and someone is always willing and able to help you learn. The firm places a high importance on cultivating its employees and their skills. There is also a strong emphasis on being a "best place to work" per employee surveys.

Let me cut to the chase.

Pay: 
Great, bi-weekly (hourly positions & salary positions)

Overtime:
Great, take over time. There is always overtime

Work from home:
You can work from home, just don't do it all the time. It's a great program for those that are sick or their kid get sick. Say the weather is bad, you can still get paid, because you can work from home.

Work attire:
Business/ Business casual. Just look professional. On Fridays you can dress casual, but only if you donate money to the charity of that week. (Great program)

Ryans moto is not to work for hours but work for a purpose. Its not about getting the "8 hr" but more about serving a purpose for their organization.

Ryan can be a great place to work at if you are in the right place at the right time. Ryan is the biggest property tax firm in the U.S. with offices in almost every State. It all depends which office you land in. I recommend the Dallas HQ and Houston TX offices. Some of the other offices are not run very well. They are run by older Directors who are on the verge of retirement and are just "punching" their ticket. If you can handle this, than I would go for it. Work at Ryan for a few years, get it on your resume, then jump ship and find a smaller tax firm or work internally in an industry.
