Learned a lot, but at a significant toll The salaries are really as bad as people say. That?s why everyone who comes here ends up leaving in a year or two. The benefits are so weak that you should probably subtract a couple thousand off your base salary to know what you?ll really take home. For example, if you?re getting $40k per year here, then that?s worth as much as $36-38k somewhere else. I don?t know how people say the coworkers here are friendly. From what I saw, there is a ton of clique formations, favoritism, ego-tripping, backbiting, rudeness, finger-pointing, gossiping, rumor-spreading, and bullying in the office. The coworkers here will throw others under the bus to save their own skins if anything ever goes wrong. They'll ask you to do stuff that they can do themselves, just cause they?re lazy or want to feel superior to you. They'll punt difficult problems your way instead of dealing with it on their own effort. Some staff members are absolute prima-donnas. This firm is so disorganized, unstable, and chaotic. Because of the turnover, they?re always shuffling people around, changing long-standing protocols, and introducing and training new people. The bosses will often email a group of people saying they want something done. Then nobody ends up doing it because nobody is sure whose responsibility it is, or 2 or 3 people waste time doing it independently because each of them thinks it?s their job. That?s the sort of incoordination you?ll see all the time at Barry McTiernan & Moore LLC.
