Carr Riggs & Ingram Employee Reviews

My experience has varied drastically from my buddy's who work in another office. Each office (SPU) has their own culture, but the one I'm at has been fantastic, it's been an awesome learning environment, and the overall treatment/commitment to work-life balance has been outstanding!

I enjoyed working for CRI for the first couple of years, but the high expectations throughout the pandemic and beyond have led to major burnout what feels like with everyone that the company is doing nothing to address. Raises have been minuscule, not even reaching the rate of inflation this year.

CRI seeks to grow through merger and acquisition but lacks the leadership to make integration successful in the long run. There is no company culture and the CEO and leaders care more about revenue than people. Turnover was 3-4 times a normal accounting firm

Firm is working to improve office culture, but pay and benefits are subpar.

My leadership team has instilled a level of confidence in my capabilities that has bled over into my personal belief. They treat you like an adult and let you take care of what you need to with minimal micromanagement. Unfortunately corporate and home office occasionally have conflicting information

They definitely have a strong business acumen.

Communication. Consistent lack of communication and transparency about what is happening with the company and zero consideration for how items that fatten partner pockets are done at the expense of the common employee

The PTO is generous. I wish there was more done to encourage employees to actually use it though; there is a weird sense of pride about who can collect the most hours. Insurance is at a fair cost and is good coverage. No complaints there.

The Great Resignation + unbelievable inflation this year. I'm hoping to see this reflected appropriately next time raises come around.

Every benefit the company provides (401K match, health coverage, PTO, etc) is average or below average for the industry. Lack of bonuses is an issue. Overall in a competitive job market there is nothing to promote working there other than the fact that titles are easy to acquire due to mass exodus

Everyone works well together and has specialties that contribute to the success of the whole team.

The team tries hard to overcome the short comings of the leadership at the company

There is sometimes a lack of professionalism and respect. We don't have to like everyone we work with personally, but I hate the gossiping.

Management really seems to make an attempt at caring. You've got something to take care of - go for it. You need PTO - sweet, hand off anything you haven't started and try to clear the important stuff. Need to adjust your schedule because "life" - Cool, let's talk about it and adjust as needed.

Individuals are very pleasant to work with. The corporate leadership/culture is atrocious

They do not care about their people at all

It was a conversation. There were the basic "Tell me about yourself," and "What do you feel your strengths and weaknesses are," but after that was out of the way, the real "conversation" happened and we just talked honestly and openly about qualifications, experiences, and expectations.

Meeting the team I would go on to work with in a panel interview was fun and casual.

The offer came very quickly

The freedom and trust to interact with clients even early on in your career. Many times, it's you (the one who's working on the file) who's talking with the client, and it helps since you know the file (probably) better than anyone else.

Honestly right now, not a lot. I guess the lofty idea of being a partner one day is nice, though there is no direct path laid out, so it feels very pie in the sky.

Understaffed and overworked has led to poor customer service. Clients are unhappy but leadership refuses to address the issues by trimming client list to fit the available staff
