Vantaggi

The firm allows me to take on as much as I want and feel I am ready for - sometimes even a bit more. This makes work a challenge. There is not much hierarchy so even staff work directly with partners. The outsourcing of some tax prep during busy season keeps the hours down for everyone (no one works Sunday unlike other places I have worked).

Svantaggi

The firm is not one to have meetings so the unofficial communications are sometimes the way news and changes are discovered. The tax department paperless system (1040 scan) is cumbersome and difficult to work with at times but must be used - sometimes it causes extra time when not using the system could go much faster with better results and less frustration.

Vantaggi

*People are nice and welcoming *Opportunities for all departments to get together such as parties and community events. *Good work/life balance

Svantaggi

*No training when it comes to tasks being assigned or policies and procedures, because the excuse is that people who should be training you are too busy with their own tasks and have no time to train. It is more of you being thrown into the fire, figure out on your own what you need to do, and ask questions if you get stuck (and that also depends on if the person you are asking the question to understands the question or knows the answer to your question...if not, you pretty much need to answer your own question yourself by doing research which takes up a lot of time). If you are a person that needs to 100% rely on someone to guide you through a task, this firm is not for you. *Systems are still in the prehistoric era (but gradually and slowly improving). *Lack of communication within people of higher positions (manager and above), which leads to unclear expectations and unknown deadlines.

Risposta di Shea Labagh Dobberstein

Thank you very much for your feedback as we value what our employees have to say. Over the past year, the firm has been holding an increased number of trainings across all departments, and we plan to continue this in 2018. Employees are welcome to attend any educational offerings that will support them professionally, including paid CPE training, seminars (including exclusive opportunities through our partner DFK), conferences, webinars and more. We are proud of our “open door” policy, where employees are encouraged to ask questions, and approach management with any questions or feedback. In addition to moving to the Cloud and other electronic processes last year, we now use Jostle, SLD’s Intranet, to make firm-wide announcements about events, important news, and, most importantly, to facilitate communication between all employees. A number of new initiatives are currently underway, including a 360-degree review process to provide a holistic view within the firm. Efforts such as these, and feedback from you and others, will help ensure we remain one of the top firms to work for in the Bay Area.
