Supportive staff but lacking training and unrealistic expectations - Staff Auditor Tichenor & Associates, LLP Employee Review

Opportunities for Advancement Competitive Salary & Benefits

Moderate travel as expected for the auditor profession

Tichenor offers a solid benefits package and appears to be open to allowing anyone from any background. Tichenor offers great student benefits for students who don't wish to succeed in their courses at a reasonable rate.

The new owner, David Hesse, purchased the firm from his father in law and his poor leadership has caused about 7 employees to leave the firm in just under 90 days. The firm takes on too much work and has no senior level auditors to report to as a base-level employee, meaning any and all inquiries must go to David, which will he will transform into a 20 minute tirade about your performance, appearance, then provides very uninformative answer you could have derived yourself without 20 minutes of bashing. He requires every employee enroll in CPA exam programs which turns into an unmanageable time when you are balancing the amount of work with little to no training, and required to take the first section of the CPA exam within 2 months of studying. The firm requires 44 hours minimum work a week regardless if you are traveling for audits. Every inquiry or mistake turns into an interrogation, there is no guidance and the firm sits on few experienced employees who are expected to carry the firm forward.
