Neil's First Day of Work

On June 2nd, Neil started working for Grant Thornton, a large international accounting firm, in Salt Lake City. He is working in the Business Advisory Services and has really enjoyed the new challenge and opportunity to apply what he learned at BYU. The work environment is great too. The partners are really nice and the employees are fun to work with. The partners believe in a "work hard, play hard" mentality, so they have no problem with the employees taking a break to play fooseball, a game of pool, or watch a game on the big screen when they need a change of pace. They even have a free soft-serve icecream machine which Neil has become quite fond of! He is more motivated than ever to work hard. He wants to take the exam to be a CPA and realizes he needs to take two more exams including the GMAT if he ever wants to be a manager and get his MBA. His days of studying are certainly not over!
Neil's cousins came over after his first day with pizza and cake for Neil's big day. It was so sweet of them to show their support.
