Well, I've been there a week, interning at a CPA office. You know the typical "office click", usually amongst some of the women? Well, it's there! I'm trying to be as cool/nice/hips as possible. I feel like an outcast! My supervisor has this other lady teaching me stuff and the whole management of me is a joke. Nobody wants to "deal" with the intern. Well, hello, why did they start an internship in the fist place! And when they try and teach me how to do something, they speed through it on the computer like I'm not there and are then like, here ya go, your turn!!! You know, if they wanted someone who knew Prosystems tax software like the back of their hand, and someone who knew how to do EVERYTHING, they should have hired a CPA with 10 years of experience. The management structure is NON-EXISTENT. Sorry to vent, just had to get it off my chest. Anyone else deal with this kinda stuff? No wonder they've been talking about how much turn-around they've had lately. Sometimes just being nice to the new hires and not engaging in office hazing B S could go along ways to retaining new people. And one more thing, the daughter of 1 of the partners works there and treats me like dirt. I just don't get it!!! I realy don't! It's actually kind of laughable. But, if they're not gonna teach me anything and let me sit around and twiddle my thumbs for 20 hours a week for 12 bucks an hour, I'm game.
I guess the problem is, I'm a "nice guy" and that's a sign of weakness or something. But if push comes to shove, I'll have a nice "chat" with this lady that's such a ***** to me. Man, I just really can't figure people out sometimes. It really is office hazing!! What a joke.
