Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

What don't you like about working at The Continental Group?

"The VP of Finance is explosive and tempermental. In 3 1/2 years had 3 sets of executves in different positions roll over, 4 different A/P managers. We took over a new region and no information provided to support personnel resulting in erroneous information and transactions. Rumors of ACH client payments being pulled before invoices produced to client to meet payrolls. A/P personnel are loaded up with properties (some of them 78 in one week) while expected to provide perfect inormation. You can get written up for not responding to one email in 24 hours when supervisers and VP's do not respond at all."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"First Service will never be able to completely swallow Continental as they wish especially in Boca. Too many chiefs and not enough Indians. When I was hired my pay level was at a G/L Bookkeeper level doing an Accounts Payable job as a result no annual reviews in 2 years after asking multiple time. Never a raise.. Have First Service take over entirely. Get rid of upper level RD's who use their properties to give their releatives and colleagues jobs. Accounting personnel are not qualified for even the year end 1099 process but yet are forced to sign their names on the transmittals. First Service needs to put the hammer down. It's not how well you work but who you know."
