Love the Q Center. Trapped in the middle of nowhere… you could attempt to venture into town, but why when you have the Cue Pub to go to for all your drinking needs – of course at NY prices… Then you always have your private room to follow it up. I could complain about the small beds…. but all the better to get cosy in.

I love it! Back in my big 4 days most of my colleagues treated training like a trip to Vegas: free-flowing booze, ill-advised hookups, and the like. I remember one partner-manager training where the marketing girls had a party in their rent house at the resort every night, and the partners were the wildest ones. The lead partner of our group suggested a toga party (partially fueled by alcohol, partly from his pervish desire to see one of the well-endowed marketing girls in nothing but a bedsheet) and shocked everyone by showing up to the next night’s party in a togo (everyone else assumed he was kidding). Of course several people went and pulled sheets off the bed of the rent house to try and fit in, including the well-endowed marketing girl, although she was left a bit exposed since she apparently didn’t know how to secure her toga.

What happens in training stays in training! Thanks for inspring the flashback.

What has made me most sick about public accounting is the spotty training that seniors provide to their new staff. It’s quite common for a senior to dump work on the associate and not explain any of it. Then the senior is in utter shock and disbelief when the associate cannot complete the assignment or does not understand what is going on.

HELLO! This is probably our first time looking over the material and we likely never covered this in school.

Shame on all your HORRIBLE Senior Associates.

Ahhh… yes…. fond memories of the Qcenter. Having your own private room was the best. For a moment I think I might have recalled meeting you during “networking” session, — but my memory is a little fuzzy thanks to all thoes free drinks!

Qcenter baby. Free drinks and your own private room. Makes “networking” easier than Houston and Stone Mountain.
