Heavy in office, if not 100% in office. During busy season, we were working weekends in office, too. I know managers (who are not 1st year managers) in TX aren’t making $140k salary so salaries still seem to be lagging behind. Never had great bonuses in my experience there or based on what I hear from friends. I felt like you had to work nonstop to be considered a good performer and then you weren’t compensated like how B4 was but you were working insane hours to meet expectations. It seems like salaries have gotten a little better since the Mazars merger but I’ve still been underwhelmed when catching up with friends and hearing their salaries. Their bonus structure has changed multiple times but it’s very similar to any other accounting firm as in it has an annual performance bonus. They also used to do spot bonuses if you did well during a certain time or something but that was just like random & infrequent and were for top performers only. Not sure if spot bonuses are still a thing. Bonuses and raises were nothing like B4 bonuses in my experience.

Overall, I thought rewards, culture, resources, & pay at PwC were much better than my experiences with Forvis. I still liked many of the people I worked with at all levels and felt like it was good experience, but I just realized I was expected to work B4 hours so I should be getting B4 benefits. Nonetheless, it’s all very much based on office and team so I’d get a feel for who you’d be working with. I’m sure there are some offices that do more WFH than others. I think the offices I worked with & interacted with probably a bit old school and that’s why some of their rules were rigid.

For anyone who receives a quarterly bonus or raise in some form, does your employer start to schedule you for less hours when your raise kicks in, or pull you from a future schedule entirely once you receive a bonus; only to put you back on once the hours you would have worked and earned the amount given are passed? Ie; a part time employee getting $200.00 in a quarterly bonus and then not being scheduled a whole week during a bi-weekly pay period where they would have earned more on the clock…?

I don’t work then past 5pm or anything out of the ordinary for this time of the year. I am so grateful!

Working for a senior who is beyond horrible. She talks to you like you’re stupid and makes it sound like you’re absolutely terrible at what you’re doing. She’s made 5 other associates cry during her 5 year career. Got someone fired and made another person quit. It’s known around the office that she can no longer have a female associate, because she talks down to females more than she does males. I came along and thought I could deal with it but she literally makes me want to not log on tomorrow.
