Pros
- Pays for CPA exam materials (only Becker) - Timely promotions - Solid group of peers and staff
Cons
- Partner group only focused on growth of department/firm and lost sight of the hardworking individuals who got them to this point - Many Managers & Partners do not respect your previously approved time off and require you to work during this scheduled PTO (or sick days) - Armanino does not set a standard for clients. They will bring in any client just to get their business. This causes engagements to be messy when clients are not held to a certain standard of providing necessary support to get the engagement done, which usually makes the engagement drag for months at a time - No 401(k) employer match - Inconsistent between words and actions - loses the trust of your hardworking employees - Recently changed all staff from hourly to salary, which was a huge motivator for people to choose Armanino over Big 4. Might as well get the Big 4 education/experience since the hours worked annually are the same - Bonus program relies too heavily on other factors (Managers/Partners, clients) other than your own performance and is not a true representation of your work product
