Overall rating: 2/5
Employment status: current

Risk Assurance Associate
Pros: Stable pay raise per year of 4-7% - no surprises
Reimburse educational/credentialing expenses like CPA or CIA or CISA
Extensive in-house training
Cons: No work-life balance - peak season all year long with 60+ hours per week
Insurance premium deducted from payroll
Only matching 1.5% of 401k contribution
Excessive commuting required but not regarded as hours worked
Pressurized to limit hours clocked to boost engagement bottom line; but KPI is based on hours clocked. Associates assigned to engagements with more lenient engagement recovery rates are naturally reviewed favorably
