Pros and cons of working at Hood Sweeney
Pros
The best thing about working at HS are the people, they are so friendly and helpful. We are relatively busy, thus I am constantly being assigned new tasks that not only keep me occupied but feeds my thirst for knowledge. Also, I like that HS looks after their employees.
Hood Sweeney provides many many opportunities for its employees. Living and working in a regional area, I have been afforded the opportunity on a number of occasions to spend weeks working out of the Adelaide office in different areas of our Accounting & Business advisory department. These opportunities have provided me with invaluable insight and knowledge into a number of areas I would otherwise never have experienced.
Practical learning rather than theory learning at University.
Managers and staff invest time in your learning. Although I am a graduate, my manager takes me along to meetings and other things which enable me to learn new things every day and become exposed to all sorts of areas of Human Resources. If you are someone who wants to learn and progress in your career, Hood Sweeney really helps facilitate this. Although there are 100 + staff members, Hood Sweeney feels like one big family.
The culture at work is great as well as the amount of personalised development and mentoring I receive to help me be better at my job.
Cons
Being from a regional town, work can at times be quite slow to come through the doors which leads to days dragging on. It is also difficult to join in on many of the activities the firm does in Adelaide.
Sometimes expectations seem too high, feel pressure when I am not doing as well in some areas as they may expect from me.
