I work in the accounting department of a property management company that has about 60 residential properties in a bunch of other commercial properties. I have never worked in an accounting department where the mood is so dark in no one wants to be there or put any extra effort into anything because it just gets ignored.We recently were told of our raises one girl got $.28 an hour I got $.50 an hour. And I’ve also noticed that they are starting to cut back on a lot of things for the The properties like limiting what they can purchase to keep the properties app. Is this a for telling of things to come?

Hi Amy, I would say yes, it's time to move on. Are you happy there? Is it worth it? I would start looking for other jobs, that pay what you're worth and the culture is what you're looking for. No job is perfect but don't you deserve to be happy and don't you deserve to be paid what you're worth?

Yes. Start looking for another job. It might be a tough patch for real estate but there are always companies that are doing ok and where the culture is positive. Accounting tends to be head down department but that doesn't mean it has to be dark.
start looking!

Just watching the news has told me most companies are pulling way back and spending, hiring and raises
The current economic climate is pretty scary.

Yes, things are limited. Start looking in the airport, hospital, or other larger industries with your accounting skill set. Robert Half.com has lots of accounting jobs. Good Luck
