Awesome place to work! The team really invests in taking the time to help and assist you with anything that you need and the growth potential is spectacular. Definitely feels like you are part of a firm that takes care of employees and that you are in a secure environment.
The company provides great hands on learning experience for all employees. I have been involved on multiple engagements which has provided a wide variety of work experience. This has given me the opportunity to collaborate with several colleagues. Everyone within firm is always willing to help others continue to learn and grow and the firm has excellent management personnel that are friendly, knowledgeable, and create a comfortable working environment.
At Castro Company you own your success and career progression. They provide the tools and support you need, and management is very involved and committed to developing all employees. But you have to take ownership of your success and work hard towards your goals. They have many programs to help employees be successful and leadership is very supportive. They truly listen to employees and have created an inclusive environment. I have loved working here and look forward to continue working and seeing the firm continue to grow.
I chose to work for Castro because of its commitment to caring for its employees. As a small business, Castro values each member's contribution to meeting and exceeding clients' expectations for the quality of professional services delivered. Additionally, Castro is committed to encouraging all employees to be active members of the community through personal volunteerism in various programs such as the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society at the national level and the Carpenter's Shelter at the local level.
Because Castro recognizes that its employees are its greatest assets, the Firm consistently makes significant investments that promote its staff's well-being and professional development. These investments go well beyond the traditional offered by most small businesses and include financial encouragement for each employee to achieve the desired level of professional licensing or certification within the fields of Audit, Advisory/Accounting, or IT.
In a professional career started in the mid-70s, I can count on one hand the number of companies, whether large or small, so willing to invest in its people. I highly encourage those seeking a venue that rewards professional and personal contributions to consider Castro in advancing their career goals.
Castro and Company are a Great Company to work with. Here you can experience a professional environment, and we all are part of the same team. We all row to the same destiny. I leave my town to come to Virginia to be part of this fantastic Company 10 years ago, and as of today, I thank God I made an excellent decision for my family and me. The Company's more critical asset is the employees, and I can attest to that.
As someone who has grown with the firm from a staff to a senior manager, I truly believe Castro is a great place to work. Castro provides its employees with the learning opportunities, resources, and exposure to client environments from an early stage of your career. Castro respects work/life balance and there are many opportunities for advancement. Castro is adaptable to change and values input and recommendations from its employees. The partners of the firm truly want everyone to succeed and often recognize employees for their hard work.
The firm also offers an inclusive team atmosphere and has implemented numerous initiatives and activities to increase employee morale and company culture. Further, Castro has made a presence in the community by supporting the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society since 2016.
"I m here to stay!"
I started with the firm many years ago as a staff auditor with no prior experience. I was given the opportunity to work on a wide array of engagements within audit, advisory and IT. Early in my career, I worked directly with Castro senior leadership on in-house engagements in addition to working with Big 4 firms on subcontract projects. Management has acknowledged and rewarded my hard work over the years. My thoughts and ideas have always been valued even at entry level. Over the years, I have seen the tremendous growth of the firm that has been integral to my professional development incorporating new goals and initiatives for the firm each year. Castro encourages work life balance and promotes firm initiatives and events including women s leadership, diversity and inclusion, community involvement through Castro Care, virtual gatherings such as happy hours, exercise groups, Castro Cafe and webinars, Castro softball team, annual holiday party, all-hands meeting, Light the Night and many more events. Castro has developed new in-house training every year to give employees the tools to succeed on their engagements. Many years later and now in a leadership position at Castro, I still feel as connected and engaged as the first day I started.
I've been at Castro & Company for over 10 years and it's been so exciting to be a part of the tremendous growth we've experienced! If you're a hard worker and do well at the clients, there's no stopping how far you can grow in the firm. Seeing multiple people start from the staff level and move their way into leadership roles within the firm has been so rewarding for me.
One of the first things I realized when I joined Castro & Company is the exceptional onboarding experience which connected me to the team and made me feel at home almost immediately! Castro s concept of assigning new hires with a career coach is phenomenal. Through the Career Coach program, the firm ensured that I, a new hire at the time, had access to senior staff who served as an educational resource to ensure success and progress.
Among other great benefits, the firm, through various programs, seeks to encourage and assist with the educational and professional growth of employees. Although teleworking, the firm finds fun and exciting ways to keep the staff engaged and motivated. Overall an excellent place to work!
I've been with Castro & Company for 6 years and have watched the firm grow considerably over that timeline. They are serious in their investment in the staff and make every effort to encourage you to grow professionally. This firm is on the grow and it is a great time to join the Castro team if you're looking to advance your career!
