Senior Administrative Assistant : avis sur KPMG
1,0
The staff and management were exceptionally rude and disrespectful
A typical day at work was answering phone calls, directing clients to the appropriate auditor or associate staff, provide administrative assistance by composing invoices, meeting minutes, letters, time and expense reporting, composing and coordinating travel arrangements and meetings. I did not learn much because the staff spent most of their days at client sites working on their books but when they were in the office that is when I was provided administrative tasks. The workplace culture was extremely competitive and therefore created a hostile environment. Not only were the auditors very disrespectful to me, the management did nothing to improve their treatment of me and allowed it to continue. He himself was not very respectful to me. The hardest part of the job was pleasing the staff. They are very high maintenance, unappreciative and display an entitlement attitude. The most enjoyable part of my job was having the opportunity to make arrangements for the office to participate in community events and show their interest in helping others.

Kpmg
This is a very oppressive company that doesn't care about it's employees. The workplace culture lends itself to gossip and backstabbing. Staff are unhappy in their positions unless at the Partner level and even at this level there is a lot of turnover. The hardest part of the job is going in and smiling when you are overworked, mentally bullied and treated like you don't matter. Corporate environments lend themselves to this type of identity because they have become so focused on making money and forgotten about the little guy.

A wonderful experience
KPMG has 30,000+ employees stateside and approximately 190,000 globally. The company rewards those who work hard and put in the effort and creativity to get the job accomplished. My boss of 8 years was an excellent leader. I acquired the most skills and knowledge of a positive working environment than any other work place. I enjoyed my time at KPMG immensely.
Points positifsPositive support from leaders and co-workers, benefits, salary and a work environment that allows a person to be creative and involved.
Points négatifsTravel time to work.

Acquired and satisfied
I worked for a small company that was acquired by KPMG. The company I worked for sprung the acquisition on us, so we didn't have a ton of time to accept the change and take it all in. But I've worked for KPMG for two years now, and overall it's been good. The benefits are fantastic. Maternity leave is wonderful. The people are mostly good and mean well. There are some people in management positions that are clueless and don't need to be here. But overall, it's been a good experience. Biggest down side is Atlanta traffic. :(

Typical Administrative Assistant
A typical day at work would be creating and updating complex spreadsheets and alter formulas for pre-prepping billing data reconciliation spreadsheets. I enjoy preparing and working with spreadsheets.
The most enjoyable part of the job is working with each individual in the International Tax department. The Tax Admin Assistants at KPMG work as a team. We support each other and are willing to help each other to meet deadlines.
Points positifsCo-workers
Points négatifsBetter Healthcare is needed

Overall a great place to work
Always busy, everyday a bit different, can get stressful, but what job isn't. I learned a lot about myself and how to better manage myself and my time. Most people are great to work with and will be happy to help you out. The hardest part of the job for me was trying to make everyone happy at one time. For me the happiest part of the job was knowing I did my best and 9 times out of ten I was successful at what I did.
Points positifsPretty much everything
Points négatifsNot much, you had to be your own advocate for balance

Advisory Department
KPMG is a very good company to work for however it also depends on the department you are in. I found that everyone I came across did not like their job. Advisory is a horrible department because of some of the employees that work for that group. I reported my supervisor to the HR department for harassment and they did nothing about the situation. I asked for a transfer and they just ignored me.
Points positifsAdvisory department is horrible
Points négatifsGood Salary, stability, flexibility

One of my better work experiences
While never perfect - KPMG has a good work environment, and is striving for an all around "inviting" work experience if you will. One that is comfortable to work in, enjoyable to be in when you are there, and that you look forward to going to. Of course there are stresses, some days worse than others, but then that wouldn't be work lol...overall it is a great place to work and I would welcome the chance to go back.
