Avantages
Working at LeverPoint has provided a lot of career and personal growth in the 5+ years I've been with the company. The type of work that we do is unique, challenging, and evolving; which is contrary to the typical accounting profession. Having spent some time in public and within private company settings, I am comfortable with saying the I've found a home in LeverPoint.
- Growth opportunities- yes, this is accurate. If you are motivated and are able to get to the point of managing client relationships, you will be recognized as doing so. With that said, professional growth does not happen overnight and takes time- similar to every other professional office.
- Benefits- as mentioned above, having a family requires the need for a lot of medical attention, prescriptions, procedures, etc. I am grateful for the benefits that the company provides.
- Work/Life balance- everyone's definition is different. For someone that has a family at home and a busy life outside of the office, I don't find myself in a position where I miss sporting events, school events, or ability to take vacations because of my job.
CPA program- we have a great CPA program that provides valuable resources, group discussions, study materials, reimbursements/bonus that makes it very motivating during the process.
Inconvénients
Similar to all client service firms, there are times where additional time is required. Depending on the team you work on and/or the client(s) you work on, there could be some times throughout the year that require more hours to accomplish the client's objective.
Based on reading some of the reviews, I think there are some clear issues with communication between managers and the team; where expectations, career path, etc. are not constantly discussed.
If you aren't realistic with yourself and your career trajectory, then you will find something wrong with every professional organization you work at.
