Pros

experience gained from working with clients

Cons

I joined Moore Colson with the hopes for having a fulfilling career, but unfortunately, my experience was extremely negative. The firm's lack of diversity is glaringly apparent, with only two black employees in the entire tax department. The lack of representation encourages an environment where fitting in becomes a challenge for anyone who doesn't look like them. Moreover, speaking up about harassment from directors is met with retaliation, and creates a toxic culture that is filled with fear and silence. Leadership's inability to address these issues underscores their lack of training and management skills. Clique behavior is also widespread, making it difficult for newcomers to integrate and thrive within the company. It's disheartening to witness favoritism and exclusion overshadowing merit and collaboration. Overall, Moore Colson falls short in establishing an inclusive and supportive workplace. I would forewarn anyone that is considering employment here to weigh the potential consequences of joining a company with such toxic dynamics.

Pros

You learn about the accounting industry and software. They have food sometimes in the office and take you to eat every month or so. Thats about it.

Cons

- Extremely aggressive, I alone was almost physically attacked by one of their senior accountants for no reason as I followed the company training. - Full-time accountants there yell and scream at you until you cry at times - Extremely rude and many unprofessional - They lie about working hours, especially for the spring internship, where they never told us until we got the job that we'd be made to work 60+ hours minimum a week or threatened to be fired, even though that was never agreed upon, only 40 - 55 max. - They don't spread out different accounting filings evenly to interns and then when they never gave you a filing then they make sure to yell at you and act like you are dumb even though you were never given that they of filing while others were at the start. - If some of the staff don't like you, then they'll make sure that you are treated badly, spread rumors across the office, and even try to make you do illegal things (one accountant tried to make me drink alcohol even though I was underage and didn't want to ever drink alcohol), they'll yell and scream at you. - No work-life balance - Staff and management don't even care about you, even if you were just in a near-death accident, like I was. - Ultimately happy to have left that environment
